You can also turn it off all together. Just lay back and relax.

Alexandria, VA - my third time floating and I finally decided to try a float pod. Previously I had…read moreexperienced the more open float cabin. Sort of like stepping into an extra, extra big shower stall but with a float tub instead of a shower. I wondered if the pod would be claustrophobic when I shut the lid but not so. Firstly, I could sit up if I wanted without banging my head on the lid. Secondly, the lid has a pretty lighted star pattern. So when I laid back and relaxed into the just the right temperature water, it felt like I was looking out onto a big window of stars. And then I closed my eyes and had the very most relaxing hour. If one wants complete darkness theres a button for the starlight too. I will definitely return in the future.

I've been going here for about a year now, sparingly. I was an early adopter when they first…read moreopened around 2023 I think? When it first opened, everything was great: clean, shiny, well functioning showers and pods. My one minor complaint is the water temperature of the pod. Granted, I run a little colder than most being anemic, but the temperature is lukewarm at best. I know it's not meant to be a sauna, but I would really prefer a warmer temperature. You do get used to it, but particularly in the winter months, I want my water heated past indoor pool temperature. 84-88 is the temperature best suited for aquatic therapy and this seems more like it's in the high 70s. Thankfully, my showers have always worked though the last time I was present, a customer was reaming out the employee as her water pressure was super low and the water was ice cold. Personally, I'd have left the room during the pod to be moved to a different room rather than enduring but that's just me. Nevertheless, the employee still handled things with grace and professionalism. My pod experience this last go round was different than that first year. I can tell that the pods have seen a lot of use; it shows. The interior handle used to open and close was missing. This made it more cumbersome to slide my doors close (or open them at the end). The finish is peeling and all in all, it looks like some maintenance is overdue. The lounge area could stand to have an additional oxygen bar since there are only two tanks and matching cords. I've noticed when people come out, they sit in those pods but don't always get the oxygen. Maybe directing these people to the back orientation room would be better and allow the lounge area the ability to provide oxygen to more folks? All in all, it's an okay experience. I do feel a bit more rested coming out but I usually always follow this up with a nice soak in my tub afterward.

Alexandria, VA - I purchased a Groupon for a float and decided a Friday night was a great time to…read morecheck it out. I noted in other reviews that it's mandatory to arrive 30 minutes early for first float orientation. This fact wasn't emphasized when I called to make my appointment so I can see why there might be some confusion. Perhaps setting first appointments for 1.5 hours might make this more clear. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly staff person who requested I put on plastic slippers and leave my shoes begin. This was a nice touch. Later I noted the slippers are soaked in a cleaning solution. I appreciate this as the slippers can then be reused. Next the staff person gave me a quick tour and showed me to the video room. The video was one part advertisement, one part orientation and one part sales pitch to buy a franchise. This last bit seemed a little much given I hadn't tried the float yet but i understand this is business. I returned to the lounge to wait my turn. A previous floater had just come out and the staff asked how things had gone. Apparently the shower didn't function well but the float was good. My turn came up and I was escorted back. I noted there were multiple float pod rooms. I was given a quick orientation to the room. The staff person opened the pod and said "This is where the magic happens!" All I can say here is there must be a generational difference in this phrases meaning. The staff person left and I turned on the shower. Ice cold water streamed out. I fiddled with the tap trying to get some warmth. Eventually managed some lukewarm water after a great amount of time. Then I couldn't shut the tap off!! My float time was beginning as I heard the narrator began her instructions. Finally got the shower down to a trickle and stepped in. The water here was warm clean and comfortable. It took my shower jangled nerves a while to calm down but when I did I had an excellent float experience. The end of the float was signaled by a loud door chime tone. The shower situation was no better. This time it was scalding hot water. Really took me right out of relaxation mode pretty quickly. I left the room for some oxygen bar time. The staff person set me up quickly and asked how the soak was. I noted all the shower issues. She acknowledged them and said she could add a note to my file so I would be in a different room Next time. This part mystified me. Why not give new customers the best experience this time? Additionally she noted that the prior customer had said the same thing about the shower. Apparently we had both been in the same room. There were other rooms so I don't understand why subject customers to a non working shower. Overall the float was great, staff was kind, the place was clean, but I wouldn't return based on the shower issues.

The owner April was so helpful showing me around the place and explaining the benefits and procedure for the booking. They have two bathrooms for changing, tea, showers to rinse between the sauna and cold plunge and nice towels. The whole place is simple yet trendy and relaxing. Starting with the sauna, I enjoyed that it was hot but not overwhelmingly so. The shower in between the sauna and plunge was fancy and got hot quick. The cold plunge had two different temps- one in the 50's and one in the 40's. You can decide to do a 1,3, or 5 minute plunge and I was able to stick it out for the 3 minute one. April kept me distracted and time went by so quickly. Overall I really loved this spot and hope to add it to my routine!
