First time doing Float Therapy in general and I enjoyed my experience. I was very open to the whole idea of it and followed the instructions. It is like meditating in the sense that it takes practice to calm your mind even when you're in complete darkness. It was a cool experience overall and i'd do it again every few months when I need a little reset. I felt weightless! The staff are super friendly & explained everything to me. She was very patient. I love that each floating cabin has their own private room, shower etc. There's a communal area to dry your hair. They have lotion, leave-in conditioner, deodorant, robes, ear plugs, slippers etc. You literally only need to bring yourself. You don't even need a bathing suit because they encourage to go in nude. The pod had a nice calming purple-blue light & relaxing music. You can adjust the music volume but not the lighting, it's either on or off. You can leave the door open if you feel claustrophobic but I didn't feel that way. The temperature was warm (both air and water) after the first 5 minutes. When you first enter the water, you're still adjusting and it was my abdomen that was cold as it was above the surface. I'd just gently wave water over it when I got too cool for comfort. But after that initial phase, I wasn't cold at all. It was very clean inside the private rooms although I did book the first spot in the morning. Tips: Please read the instructions before you book! You can't shave within 24 hours, I'd wait an extra day more if you have sensitive skin. The salt is sooooo concentrated that all your cuts will burn. They do provide petroleum jelly as a barrier in case you do have micro cut or sensitive areas. 2) Salt water will burn your eyes. So be careful not to lift your head out of the water without closing your eyes (just in case some water trickles down your forehead). They give you a spray bottle with fresh water and a towel inside the cabin just in case this happens. It happened 3 times to me lol and it's effective. 3) Ear plugs if you don't want salt water in your ear. They were effective. I didn't get any water in. There's a vinegar rinse you spray into your ear to help rinse off the salt. 4) Relax. Be open to the experience. Be patient with yourself and your racing thoughts. read more

Gord and I went for hour floats on Thursday at Float Toronto (on Queen Street W at Gladstone). We find floats very relaxing. The tank is high enough for me to stand up, wide enough for me to stretch my arms out and my fingers just touch the side and a lot longer then me. Today I left the meditative music on and the light off so was in total blackness. At the end of the hour, the music changed and the lights came on to let me know my hour was up. Get out and take a shower (which is in your room), which you need because you're all slimy and crusty from the salt. They have nice shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. read more

A gem of a place, with excellent pricing for float rooms of the quality and cleanliness they offer. Virtually all staff are warm, friendly, and welcoming. (I once had one staff person knock abruptly loudly and somewhat rudely on my door, after I was showering post-float and getting dressed; a bit shocking to the senses, when the place is supposed to be about calm and respite.) They have two Dyson hair dryers, selection of high quality teas, ample towels, robes if needed, and a smart variety of floatation accessories (head rest, noodles to support knees), as well as provisions for comfortable floats: silicone ear plugs, petroleum jelly to protect any small cuts, spray bottles and extra cloths to wash epsom-salt water off your hands and to keep your eyes from stinging; comfortable sitting spaces to recalibrate before heading back out to the busy'ness of Parkdale, Grateful to have this in the neighbourhood. read more

I have been a regular "floater" for years and it has been a great method for me to relax, decompress and meditate, calm the mind down, and escape the stresses and toxicity of work and city life. The private rooms which has been renovated with larger and more modern float tanks about a year ago are well equipped, modern and clean. The lounge is a peaceful calming place to be before and after your float session. They have complementary herbal tea and a nice selection of books to leaf through. I especially like the community journals where anyone can write or draw their messages, experiences, gratitude or self expression to share with others. They also have a nice selection of health, spiritual and wellness products for sale. The staff there are always very friendly and attentive. The only thing I could criticize on, though minor, is that I found the towels a bit on the rough side and not as think and soft from what I remember when they first opened. I took advantage of their monthly membership program where you get discounted monthly floats. You could bank your float session if you do not use it in that month. Your membership could get you discounts for additional sessions or to gift to others and also on the products they sell. Their online booking could not be any easier or more convenient. They do get fully booked days or up to a week in advance, but you can add yourself to their wait list for specific time slots in the event of a cancellation. For those who are new to floating, the first session or two could feel weird or too intense or the session too long for some, but after getting used to sensory depravation you will find it very calming and an excellent environment to meditate or for self reflection. Thanks Float Toronto for helping me find calmness and relaxation which we all need! read more

"Quest" model cabins that are tall enough to stand in are standard for all floats. $39 Price for first timers' 3-pack is very attractive. Water is extremely buoyant. Compares to the better float spas out there. HOWEVER- the fan noise in the room is audible even in the chamber. HOWEVER the first and last floats of the day are double-sessions. That's right two hours for 39 dollars. Wha??!! At least the music can be switched on to mask the fan noise by you can used to it. Eventually you habituate to the fan. But I wish the intermittent noise and low speed noise can be dampened and resolved in future. To me the room fan noise detracts overall. Some reviewers have mentioned feeling streetcars or traffic. I didn't during my 1st float but then again I was in room 5 which is furthest from the street. The staff are helpful and the ambience is very nice. Artwork is very cool. Yes there is a "hippy dippy" vibe in the main lobby but I like it and really, it's not that out there as some reviews state. And it suits the neighborhood. And I'd rather that than some clinical looking space. My gold standard is still the float spa with my only 5-star rating here on yelp. However the value is hard to beat here and it is open late. read more

Float Toronto - Day Spas Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went for my first ever float yesterday evening and I really liked it. Staff at Float were super friendly and helpful, and offered me a nice peach tea while I waited for my turn to go in. It was very relaxing. I've been getting a few questions about the process so I figured it would be helpful to have some idea of what happens when you walk in. So this is what happens when you walk in. I had already paid and made my appointment online, so I just walked in around 15 minutes before my appointment. I signed a release form, drank some tea, and waited until my turn came. A friendly member of the staff showed me to the room I would be using, explained a bit about the tank, and some advice on ear plugs, then he left me alone to do my thing. The doors lock, so you have some privacy. I had the last float of the night, so it was 2 hours long, but standard floats during the day are around 1 hour. They have 5 rooms, each with flotation tanks in them, and it's easy to make an appointment online, which was a major plus. Each room has a shower, a bench, and a flotation tank, and a robe. Towels & ear plugs are also provided. They have scent pre-float shampoo & body wash you can use to get ready before going into the tank, and a more scented post-float shampoo and conditioner. The flotation tank has about 10 inches of water, and a whole bunch of dissolved salts (for max float potential), so it's easy to get into the tank, sit on the bottom, close the door, lay in the water, and then open it again, or whatever you feel comfortable with. At first I was a little anxious about getting lost into the abyss of the tank, and it just seemed to get darker, but as I found out, it's easy to find the door handle in the dark, and easy to open it whenever you need to. So after realizing it wasn't a big deal, and that I could open the door anytime, I closed the door, and floated away 2 hours without realizing it. When your time is up, there is music that comes on, and gets progressively louder to gently wake you or get you out of your relaxed state. There is no right way to do it, but I had a great time just floating around with my eyes open, enjoying the feeling of gravity mostly disappear, and also got some really good stretching in as well. Just be careful with the salt water, as you might expect, if you get it in your eyes - it stings! (but there is a towel with a water bottle near the tank door if you need to rinse) There was only a brief moment in the beginning of my float when I heard a siren from the street, otherwise, I didn't notice any street noise at all, and considering what I saw when I left Float last night, that's really impressive (lots of police activity, another ambulance that I hadn't heard). I'm usually pretty sensitive to sound, so mostly for me it was nice to have some near-total quiet and no vibrations other than the sound of my heartbeat for a couple of hours. I think they've got a great set up, and I didn't find their prices high (especially when compared with some other float places I've seen in the past) and they've got a variety of options to choose from on their website. The one thing that is worth mentioning, is that after floating and being relaxed and blissed out, walking out onto Queen Street at 1 am on a Friday night can be kind of shocking (not like this is a surprise of course, it's loud, and busy). I know I'd like to try and do a late night 2 hour float during the week next time. Otherwise, I had a really great time. read more

Saw deal on Groupon and thought I would give this place a try. My husband and I decided on a last booking at 10:30 or 11pm so we can extend our 1st experience for 2hrs rather than 1hr. As soon as you walk in... you feel the zen environment. You get a walk through of how to maximize your experience. Everything is really provided for you. If you brush/ comb your hair... that would be the only thing you may want to bring your own. In the tank room, you would start off by using the supplied ear plugs; foam or wax option. it is better to apply this when you are dry. Than proceed to take a quick shower and use thier prewash which is non scented. If you want to dim the lights... do this prior to getting in the tank. Helps your eyes to adjust when coming out. Enter the warm... body temp regulated tank. You can go nude or in swim wear. If you think you would benefit the use of the provided floating noodle... bring that in too. If you dont use it.... it just floats in the tank and does not obstruct you while in the tank. Once you close the door... it is completely dark. My biggest concern was if my head will stay afloat... if I was to nod off. The answer is yes. At first... this was when I used the "noodle" under my neck for support. My second concern was.... 2hrs, did I pick too long if a time? No... you instantly become so relaxed that time does not exist... or matter. Third thought was will my skin become wrinkled since I will be in for a long time. The salt water actually firms your skin. The only thing you will get is the salt firming a slim like thin layer on your skin and where water fades to dry spot, the salt ring. Once your time us up... soothing music notifies you and you have 10mins to shower. Thier post float shampoo and conditioner is an AMAZING product and smells great. Nice towel to dry off. In the back, you will find q-tips, hair ties, brushes, mouth wash, contact lens solution, all hair products imaginable and hair drier. They really did think of everything! Enjoy mineral water or a nice peppermint tea before you leave. Great 1st experience. I will be back. My husband is not the most adventurous.... he throughly enjiyed his experience as well. read more

I can't say enough about the AMAZING experience I had BOTH times I've floated at Float Toronto. The guys are friendly, accommodating, and the facility is top notch. Before your float, they offer kombucha, specialty teas, water, etc. They also welcome you, and explain things very thoroughly to ensure proper procedure is maintained, and you have the BEST float experience possible. Each float room has a brand new shower with unscented shampoos and body wash for pre-float, and post-float, along with your own comfy bath robe and plenty of towels. The floatation tanks themselves are awesome. 8ft long by 5ft wide. Access (entrance) and egress (exiting) of the tank is relatively simple, and a face towel and spray bottle is provided on the handle of the door in case you happen to get the saltwater into your eyes. They also provide 2 styles of ear plugs to wear in the tank which stop water from going into your ears as well as help to block out any extra sounds. Again - I cannot say enough about Float Toronto. I drive all the way from Windsor just to float here, and I CANNOT wait until my next visit. I also plan on buying floats for my friends for Christmas/Birthdays because I think this experience is very important and enjoyable. BONUS: THEY ARE LICENSED TO SELL SELECT FORMULAS FROM ONNIT.com - one of the BEST places to find anything you need for TOTAL HUMAN OPTIMIZATION. Bring your mind and body to the next level and get to KNOW YOURSELF at Float Toronto! read more

I finally tried a float!! After tons of research and debate. It was totally out of my comfort zone but I really loved it. I bought a 3 session pack and convinced I'll like my next trip better. I have ADHD and have trouble laying still and relaxing so next time I'd definitely go more tired. But nonetheless the staff were really friendly and helpful and the place was really nice and clean. They have showers with everything you need and a changing area with blow dryers and all the products. My only warning is that everything I wore was covered in a thick layer of salt after so wash that shit fast!!! read more

Actual question, why are the floating pods more popular among floating locations? The tanks are so much better, and Float Toronto has the right idea. I'm not a stranger to floating, but it's the first time in quite a while since I had the chance to do one. They have the floating tanks with high ceilings, which I might have to say is my favourite tank I've been in. The smaller, older tanks sometimes lead to dripping due to the ceiling being much lower, while the pods do not capture the same amount of deprivation due to the way it closes. There's also so much more room in this tank as opposed to the pod. Save to say, I highly approve of their choice of equipment. Another thing I have to comment on is the kind of earplugs they provide. They give you both the regular foam earplugs, and the mouldable kind as well. I cannot express how grateful I have a real problem with getting foam earplugs to stay in my ear and had always had to wring them out halfway through my float. These moldable ones are just a godsend, and I appreciate they don't try to upsell "fancier" earplugs for a better floating experience. If you're looking for a first floating experience, Float Toronto definitely is the place for you. They also keep their floating patrons in mind with talking in hushed tones. read more

Such a tough review to write. This was an experience that I felt so differently about at various points; but I decided I would in fact recommend it and maybe even do it again. I won't repeat what everyone else says in their reviews, but I would like to add points that no one has raised: 1) Definitely do not shave (as they instruct) or have any cuts -- you will die. 2) There are HUNDREDS of towels in the hallway outside the rooms. Take towels. They only leave you ONE towel inside the room! This was so unhelpful, especially since every step along the way involves a towel - pre wash, if you get salt in your eyes, post wash, etc. Take them before you get undressed. 3) There's no reason for the bathrobe. You can't really sit in a "tea room" and unwind afterwards; it is adjacent to the front lobby and everyone (including the staff worker) talks in there and you can be seen from the street. They should have this post-float room in the back, it is basically non-existent. When I got out of my float, every seat in the "post float tea room" was taken by others on their phones. Couldn't determine if they were pre-or-post float. 4) do your research ahead of time, because everything is sooo intimidating when you are there, and if you don't feel comfortableish going in, you won't get comfortable in your hour. 5) I don't know why but I freaked out at the beginning because I was convinced I wouldn't be able to find my way out when I was in there -- but the rational part of me realized it's a rectangle, and not a circle, so you CANNOT float all the way in a circle and not know where the door is. Place your head away from the door (feet at the door) and just know that the door is always at your feet. That calmed me down a lot. 6) It gets HELLA hot in the tank. 7) I didn't have any super out of body experiences, but I have felt extra relaxed the rest of the day. I went when I had extreme stomach pain, and it felt nice to float. 8) Take the noodle in with you, even if you don't end up using it, the option was nice. Recommend as an experience, even if you just try it once! I'd prefer to go when it is colder outside or later in the day, going mid-day was kind of odd. read more

1. Floating is a unique and relaxing experience. 2. Floating *here* is warm, clean, streamlined and approachable. 3. As stated in previous reviews, the staff will thoroughly welcome you and guide you through the process. After that, you're not rushed by anyone at all. Jesse, the owner, was a nice cool guy. 4. It was great to have the shower in the same room - you can get out and wash up whenever you like. In addition to my pre- and post-float wash, I also had a little mid-float shower party. My partner stayed in the pod the whole time. Up to you. 5. It made my bum feel funny. 6. They offer two types of ear plugs for your comfort, and that's awesome. 7. I pretended I was Sandra Bullock. 8. The wake-up music was delightful. Suggestion: it would be AMAZING if you could pick your own song. I'm eager to try it again! read more

A couple friends kept raving about this place so I decided to try it on a day off. Booking a time was easy and simple right on their website. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They even helped with first timer tips and answered all my questions. You don't have to bring anything which is nice. However I recommend bringing a brush and deoderant since these are not provided in the vanity area. The tank was...interesting. I floated with the door closed to take in the full experience. I couldn't imagine floating with the door open or else I would have been freezing. It was nice and warm inside the tank. The water almost feels like KY Jelly hahahah Time went by super slow and I couldn't get comfortable for about 15 mins. I had a pool noodle behind my neck and it still felt heavy. I think I would have enjoyed the float more if I was moving or if there were small waves just so I could imagine myself in the ocean. I don't know. It was just weird for me to float and being still. You definitely lose feeling of where water and air start/end. You feel like you're floating in outer space a la Sandra Bullock and I only freaked out when I thought gravity would kick in and I was going to fall. When I thought I was done with floating, I opened the tank door and man, it was cold! Only 25 mins passed by :( For the last 15 mins or so, I took a hot shower. I didn't feel relaxed but my skin felt amazing!!! The salt worked wonders on my skin and had a glow for the rest of the day. The shampoos and soap provided are really good too. I don't think I'd come back since I don't think this is the right water treatment for me. But definitely try it! read more

It's really too bad the float tanks here in London are so expensive because my experience at Float Toronto was top notch and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The price really stands out as a high point here because 1 float for the same time in London is over $100. The atmosphere is so warm and quiet when you first walk in. You can watch a little video to see how everything works. I did a lot of research beforehand so I knew what to expect. The guy working the front desk got to know us a little bit, asking us some genuine questions. Turns out he went to school in London so we bonded over that a little bit. Once introduced to my float room, it was go-time. The shower in my room was a bit temperamental so it took some time to find the right temperature. I put in the ear plugs and stepped into the tank. I was much warmer than I thought it would be. I am typically a cold person so I thought that I would get a chill but I didn't at all. I had to situate my neck and relax just 'so' because I could hear the blood pumping through my ears. Once I got to a relaxed position this stopped. At this point, I didn't know what to do. Do I start to think? Do I try to stop thinking? I don't know. But my body knew. I had a really hectic week, plus I was heading out on a plane that afternoon for another crazy week ahead. My body shut down and I was out. It may have only been for 20 minutes but it felt like days. I have never felt so rested. My mood, my mind, my body, everything felt so clear. I took a shower when I got out and went to the vanity at the back to dry my hair. They had really nice products there and it was great to have dry hair before going out into the cold. My boyfriend and I sat in the post-float calming room for a while, sipping tea and reading the experiences other people had. I do wish this room was more separate from the general area. The tea tastes awesome! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who just wants to let go and relax. I would have to keep trying to eventually let go and let my mind wander. One day I hope this will happen! read more

Absolutely a wonderful place to float!!! They really do take care of ALMOST everything and make the experience as relaxing and chill as they possibly can. There's towel service and use of a nice cotton robe, and they have absolutely wonderful shampoo and conditioner to make your hair silky soft after being submerged in a shit load of salt water for an hour. The float space is pretty great too, a clean 'wet' room of sorts for your pre and post float showers. They even provide earplugs as well. After your hour is up they feed a calming chant song to rouse you from your relaxed state and get the fuck out of the tank. AND, they filter each tank after every float so you can rest easy that it's less gunkier than old school float places (looking at you Toronto Healing Arts Centre). They have shared vanity station which seems a little too small for the amount of tanks they have, but hey, they offer free hair products and lotion. The shared hairbrush station is kinda gross though... All in all a great experience and I would definitely return again for their package deals. I mean, that shit was effective as I straight up nearly fell asleep like twice during my float. read more

First experience, within minutes of floating I felt nauseous to the point of almost throwing up. Experienced dizziness throughout the day which I rarely get. It's equivalent to sea sickness or motion sickness. I enjoyed the water but hung off the side of the door instead. Of my 60 mins float I stayed in the water for 35 mins. I wasn't asked about my Float and just left. FYI this was not a pod rather a gigantic bathtub... read more

Great place, found it via groupon but I would return without it now. Happy I tried it out. Great experience, gave me a chance to force my body to just take a "time out" Clean, trendy and friendly too. Bragged to a few folks at work about it, can't wait to schedule my next visit. read more

Float Toronto was an incredible experience. I had never been in a sensory deprivation tank before and was a little hesitant. Overall it blew me out of the water, somewhat literally. I left Float in a Zen-like state I've never felt before. The staff are great too, approachable and friendly. Float On. read more

New favourite thing! I absolutely had a 5 star experience at Float Toronto. It was my first experience of floating and I am absolutely enamored. I purchased and booked two more sessions immediately and am treating an out of town friend next week to a Float. 5 reasons Float Toronto deserves 5 Stars: - Floating is amazing! If you've never tried it but are interested this is a fabulous place to get your feet wet (!). I have trouble meditating on my own and I thought this might help. I was right! I wasn't thinking about dishes, work, school...just...ahhhhh.....I felt zero anxiety or claustrophobia while being in the dark. It was lovely. -The staff here are amazing! I really enjoyed talking to the staff. They answered my few questions, freely gave their opinions (ear plugs or no ear plugs, etc.) Explained everything thoroughly. I felt surprisingly comfortable in this space considering it was such a new experience. -Float is extremely clean. From the reception, the Float rooms/tank and shower, the bathroom, the lounge, everything was pristine. -The atmosphere was bliss. Very quiet, welcoming and congruent with what Floating is all about. -The price is UNBEATABLE! Sure, you can go the Groupon route but $65 for an hour is an extremely fair price. Even better if you get a package deal. I have friends in other cities who pay $100 and up for a Float, and others who cannot afford that so have never been able to try it. I feel very fortunate to have such a great place in a very convenient location. I look forward to my next scheduled Float! I will be recommending this practice and location to all of my clients, friends and family. AMAZING!! :D :D :D read more

I will be telling everyone about Float Toronto! I had a great experience at my first float today. The space has a nice set-up, and the owners are really cool, and seem to know their stuff. You really don't need to bring much with you, they provide essentials. It's hard to describe the floating experience - it took me awhile to settle in and relax once in the tank, but after using some meditation techniques and deep, steady breathing, I really relaxed. Serious endorphin rush! I can really see making floating a regular part of my routine. Another plus - they carry Onnit supplements - at a good price too. No more waiting for my Alpha Brain to come in the mail! I look forward to coming here for many years to come! read more

I had a great experience floating here. This location provides a discount to nearby employees, and as a CAMH employee I received a great discount and was able to bring a friend with me (just the one time discount for the friend). The prices here are WAY cheaper than I remember them being at the Toronto Healing Arts Centre years ago (although, the prices may have decreased there since then). Their membership rate is also super cheap and is the way to go for anyone coming once or twice a month (because it already makes getting the membership worth it). The experience is relaxing. They start you off with a DVD on how floating works. You have your own room with all the necessary amenities for the floating experience. I actually forgot my bathing suit (lolz), so I floated naked. However, I actually realized I preferred it this way because I could concentrate on the experience since I couldn't feel the tightness of the clothing in the water. Following the float, I took a relaxing shower (I opted to bring my own shampoo/conditioner), and put my makeup on at their vanity station. My friend and I then enjoyed a cup of tea in the lounge. Overall, it was a great floating experience, and I recommend it if you are trying or continuing your floating journey. read more

Excellent customer service! Above and beyond. Plus the little amenities make this price 100% top value. The rooms are lovely and the machinery itself is very clean and easy to use as you just pop in. I suppose I just wish that there had been more control over the option to have some music... you can have if you ask before going in. I won't make that mistake when I go back after a hard workout or yoga class! Excellent spa/relaxation choice! Very very fair price. read more

Float Toronto - Day Spas Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've recently started floating and can not say enough good things about it. With a busy and hectic job, and with the craziness of living downtown......this is a great place to come and reset yourself, relax, and feel aligned again. It's kind of like taking a mental vacation for an hour or two, and once you return......all of your senses are heightened after being deprived for such a short time. Float Toronto is a professional and clean environment. It's got a great vibe from the moment you come in. Everyone that I've dealt with that works here has been genuinely positive, caring, and informative. You can tell that they really enjoy their work and believe in what Float Toronto has created. I've been three times, and each experience has been completely unique in the tank......and each experience leaving, and going about my day has also varied. A lot of 'work' happens in the tank and continues into your day, into your sleep, and into the days to follow. I feel claustrophobic easily, but for whatever reason, I don't have this feeling in the float tank. It does take a bit of time to adjust to the environment the first time, so, be easy on yourself. I'm planning on going a couple of times a month regularly. Super happy that Float Toronto exists. It's one of my favourite places to go in the city. read more

Went here for my 1st time ever last weekend and booked a one-hour session. Super-friendly and chill atmosphere, with great staff! Nicely set-up rooms, w/ private showers for rinsing off when you're done. I didn't really know what the hell I was doing, but I tried to quiet my mind as much as I possibly could and just "let things flow"... Saw some crazy shit, made some peaceful internal discoveries, and experienced an overall improved sense of well-being at the end of the session (which only lasted 45 minutes for me, because I was WAYYY too impatient to sit through an entire hour). Relaxed in the lounge (which is very nice as well) and read while I waited for my mates to get out, and I felt awesome! Almost like I had taken a small amount of psychedelic mushrooms. Colours were brighter, sounds were much clearer, I wasn't stressed about bills, life, etc... The whole day was AMAZING after that... it's really the after-effects of the "float" that count, more so than the actual experience in the tank. I only took 1 Star away because I feel that $65 for an hour is a tad too steep. If this was $40 - 50/hr max, I would definitely return weekly... but not for $65/hr. I could buy a LOT of booze and pornography with that kind of cash... However, I would recommend this place to EVERYONE for the experience and the feeling of the whole thing. You HAVE to try it! :) read more

Can't recommend it enough! I initially heard about it through a friend who works nearby about a week after it opened and immediately bought a few sessions. I have ended up "gifting" my sessions to others as I had such a great experience I wanted to pass it on. So many benefits- both mentally, physically and even spiritually. It is not scary or claustrophobic AT ALL. Your skin and hair are softer than you could imagine- for DAYS afterwards! You will sleep well also. I firmly believe this is a must for most people- try it at least once- you'll be hooked:) read more

Its just okay. I mean nothing great but yet something different and relaxing with dim lights. read more

This was an amazing first time float experience. I went for the late night session (10:30PM-12:30AM). As soon as you walk in there's a sense of peace with the dimmed lights, the aroma, and the soft quiet conversations. Brief instructions were given before the float, and once you were left in there you were all ready to go. One thing I didn't like was the long ass list (inside your private room) of things you could do to achieve the optimal float. I feel like that list should be in the front where the "post-float" area is, since it was basically a waiting area too. While first-timers are waiting for their rooms, they can read the list there to prepare themselves. My boyfriend and I had requested for the music to play in the first 5-10min, but unfortunately it didn't. They did manage to play it at the end of the float to transition us out though. My boyfriend was floating in room 1, and unfortunately didn't have a completely blacked out tank. There was light coming through the bottom of the door.. So much for floating in complete darkness. Other than that, Float Toronto had all the amenities ready for you to use - except for a hairbrush of course. It was awesome, the shampoo and conditioner smell amazing as well. Highly recommend floating! read more

The first time I heard about the concept of a "Sensory Deprivation Tank" was many years ago from a TV show called "Fringe." When I heard this was a real thing that you could do, I had to try it - and I was not disappointed. I've now gone twice to Float and will continue to be a regular here. Floating is almost necessary if you work in the crazy business world of Toronto, and live downtown with all the noise, computer screens and stress. The opportunity to turn off completely is something that I'm now very grateful for. If you have the opportunity to, check your pressure points when you're walking there or in your car, and notice how tense they are. Then compare this to after you've floated, it's completely different. This is a great way to recharge and avoid breaking to the stress of work and life. read more

I had my first experience floating, I thought it was going to be freaky, it did take me a long time to finally relax, but when I did, the feeling stayed with me for the rest of the day, very clean facilities, helpful staff, it was a very large float cabin. the only thing for me, is that you have to shower after you come out of the tank and get dressed, but, you only have 10 minutes to do so, so, relax, but now hurry up! I will go back, and maybe just shower at home, after. Very affordable and varied packages that you can share with your spouse for example. read more

UPDATE: Since I wrote this review, I have floated 3 times at a different place (H2O Float Spa). I won't talk about H2O here, but check their Yelp page to see my review. I will say this: I am not a fan of the "Oasis" tank that Float Toronto uses...everything about the tank, and this location, feels industrial. Other places have a much more relaxing, calming, clean type of environment that complements different types of floating tanks (open concept and pods) that ultimately lead to a more pleasant experience. ----------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW UNEDITED: First time floating Here are my thoughts: -the place is just "clean enough" ... It doesn't really look or feel like a spa, but more like a warehouse with some decorations and float tanks in rooms... -kindve a weird hippy vibe, don't know how else to describe it other than just...weird. You might want to visit the place physically before booking an appointment -float was interesting...I found the tank to be small. I was constantly bumping into the walls or feeling vents and tubes on the floor surface of the tank. -I would recommend wearing ear plugs. I did not wear them and I didn't find I got the truly "silent with my own thoughts" feeling...I could still hear things moving and the tanks buzzing and stuff -staff was fine, courteous, no real complaints but nothing to say wow about -I'm torn if I want to try it again... -I did come out feeling more relaxed, no muscle pain at all, very comfortable feeling once i finished -while in the tank I became very aware of pain I had in my knees and neck...it helped me realize these are real trouble spots for me I recommend buying a single float at $65 and then see how you feel after that read more

I went for my first float ever and the float itself was alright (a little boring after a while), wish I'd have been able to bring in my own music. After it was done I removed my earplugs and showered using the provided shampoo and conditioner along with the earwash. On my way home I felt amazing! I felt calm and tranquil until I got home and noticed the insane amount of powdery salt lodged in both of my ears. I cleaned out the salt however two days later I was still finding more salt in my ears. 4 days later I suffered my first ever ear infection! I've never felt such pain in my life. I went to the Dr's and was told it was likely from the tank. I will NEVER risk having this pain again by floating in a public tank that likely doesn't get drained after every client. So not worth the agony. read more

The best place to float in the city. Good staff who are knowledgeable and helpful for beginners. The spa is clean and well appointed. The tanks are clean as well and the temperature is perfect. The streetcar can make some noise going by, but if you are in the back rooms it's barely audible. Overall, this is a great place to float. read more

Float Toronto is where I head to unplug and hit the reset button on my brain. The environment is clean, relaxing, and tranquil and the staff are great. The website makes it very easy to book a time slot. Arrive early to enjoy some tea and relax before heading to your isolation tank. Floating has become one of my favorite forms of therapy and my sleep after each float has always been deep and refreshing. read more

I first heard about Float Toronto on Instagram and immediately thought of my mom. She lives with chronic back pain and after reading the reviews and benefits of floating, I knew she'd enjoy this experience. We ended up dragging my dad along too, someone who isn't too fond of closed spaces. Minor claustrophobia, if you will. We phoned ahead of time and were told that you are in complete control while floating. You can choose to keep the door open or closed. Great. (Side note: my dad ended up closing the door all the way and I was the one who couldn't deal and left the door wide open! Go figure!) Upon arriving, I told the employee that we hadn't floated before and that it was our first time here. She reassured us that she'll go through all the instructions. She let us know that we were to undress, shower and dry our faces off using the towel provided; especially our eyebrows and beard - places where moisture likes to hang out. She told us how to get in and out, not to touch our faces while in there (salt water + eyes = no good) and that when we hear the music playing that's our signal that the hour was up. She asked if we had any questions, which we didn't, and we were on our way. It wasn't until after finishing our hour-long float that we realized she had forgotten to mention a small but important step to floating - WHERE THE EARPLUGS! It wasn't until after we saw them in the corner of the room on a little stool. Nowhere in her instructions did she mention the use of earphones OR that we were to flush our ears out with apple cider vinegar (located in the showers for our personal use) to help clear the epsom salts. It's been 11 days now and Im still completely deaf in my right ear. I read the FAQs online and they suggested flushing our ears with white vinegar if blockage was a concern. I did so the first few days and gave up seeing it was repeatedly unsuccessful. I'm now looking to make an appointment with a doctor to figure out this issue. It's getting too much now. Other than that the experience was fun. It certainly was relaxing and we felt super calm afterwards (besides not being able to hear...) I recommend everyone try it out just for the experience. The only piece of advice I have is to Wear. The. Ear. Plugs. read more

Took me awhile to get relaxed. I was scared at first, once I became comfortable I started doing these side stretches and deep breathing. It was peaceful and I was able to day dream a lot. read more

I would say that for the most part it was a good experience. The rooms were clean and they provide you with towels, a bathrobe, the option of two different ear plugs depending on your comfort.. I do wish the water temperature was a little but more warmer.. But that's just me because I do get cold easily. The only thing I didn't like was that it was my first time and I didn't feel very welcomed by the gut at the front desk. He said there would be music playing before and after the session but there was no music. He didn't offer me any tea or water and didn't even ask me how my session went. He just ran through what I had to do quickly and that was it... But besides poor customer service.. It was clean and I would go back again..maybe to another location though read more

Fantastic place. Lovely staff, clean facility, quiet, peaceful. It's the only place I've floated, mind you, but it's great.

I had a great experience last night on my first Float, I was able to relax most of the time and would tense up out of nowhere at random times, I would love to keep going so that I can discover why that is along with any other discoveries that an hour of breathing and floating provides. Also I was extremely soar from my work out so even just to let my body restore and heal with all the benefits that Epsom salts have, was simply wonderful. I am definitely considering a monthly membership and somehow work it out into my budget. Another thing I like wast the staff and area where you sit to either wait for your room or afterwards, it's a nice calming atmosphere, I even felt inclined to draw on the sketch book they have in their coffee table, it was neat. Love the showers and my hair definitely loved the products they provide and sale. I think one of these days I may treat myself to their Rose Face Mist ;) read more

I love float! Super clean, well run by really great people. One really useful tool for dealing with the stress of modern city life.

I was hesitant going alone because it was such a unique experience. But the website is extremely informative so I felt a lot better exploring every page. The person working at the time was extremely friendly and also explained everything so well. Everything is sooo organized, from the shampoo pumps, to the towels. I have recommended this to so many of friends. It's an experience you deserve to have. Like the staff member said "it's like being in your mothers womb". And I remember laughing and saying "If only I could remember that feeling". BUT HE WAS SO RIGHT. he was spot on. Just so calm. And the shower afterwards is just perfection. They don't rush you!
