A friend bought me a soak session in the float pod and it was very relaxing. I would have appreciated a bit more ambient music, as the hallway noise seeped into the room I was in which distracted a bit from the experience, but overall the customer service was good, facility was clean, and I felt extremely refreshed after the hour soak! read more

I treated my husband and myself to a float for his birthday. The place is nice and clean, the staff very nice. It was my first float and I did like it. I would return to try the other services. read more

I had an amazing experience, everything was very clean and organized, they were very nice and polite. A very relaxing atmosphere. read more

Very disappointed- the lights and music came on mistakenly about 2/3rd of the way through my float so it was cut off way too early. Worst of all, nothing was done to compensate me or out of goodwill for a mistake in their system. Very unfortunate read more

I am absolutely amazed at the services offered at reboot Oakland. I have tried almost all of them on my health and wellness journey. The staff is kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The manager took the time to go over some of my health concerns and I felt really heard which in turn made me feel very safe. The appointments are easy to make online. They often have deals and sign up offers which can help when you are on a budget. I am a huge fan of this place and will be back again and again read more

Someone close to me got me two float sessions and a sauna session for the holidays. I just did the first one today and loved it. So calming and peaceful. Both folks at the reception desk were so kind, and I got a thorough introduction to the pod before my session. Everything is provided - even swim caps! I have long locs, and didn't want to expose them to salt or wait days for them to dry completely. They had a swim cap that fit all my hair comfortably and I'm very grateful. Time passed slowly, allowing me to fully relax. Looking forward to my other sessions, and highly recommend this experience for those seeking solace and weightlessness. read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Pod - Float Spa Near Me - Oakland, California

To have this healing hour to myself was priceless. Very clean and the oxygen bar area was a great way to end my time. Thank you

This was my first float experience and I thought it was great! However, BF's? Not so much (but honestly had nothing to do with Reboot, it was just him! LOL) Appointments were super easy to book online. We got there a few minutes before and after signing the necessary paperwork, we watched a brief video. Then, we were taken into our rooms (one pod per room) and a person showed us everything that we needed to know. There's a pre-shower and post shower and toiletries and ear plugs are provided. Once you get in the pod, you're in complete darkness and silence. Personally, its a hard for me to shut my mind off, but after a bit I was able to fully relax. When the time is up, music will slowly start playing and lights will come on. Now for BF's experience, he kept floating and his head would hit one side of the pod, and then he would float and his feet would hit the other side. He also itched his eye and got water in it (which is filled with salt water so it burned). Unfortunately, he wasn't able to stay in the pod for the whole hour, I think he got out around the 45 min mark. Overall, he said the experience was ok. For some people, it may be harder to relax, so just keep an open mind. But for me, I thought it was great and definitely felt calm after my session. read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Spa Near Me - Oakland, California

I had done a float somewhere else in The City but I tend to like this place and location better...friendly staff, clean, a very light feel to the place and great way to zone out. This location is new and the ladies up front are awesome in guideing you through the process. Arrived at 10am and was greeted with a friendly welcome by staff and Leah who guided us through the process of giving us slippers, filling out waivers, watching the intro video, talking me through the cryo treatment (shes with u the full duration of the treatment) and then walking my friend and i through the float process. First time getting the cryo treatment so thought of that scene from Star Wars when Darth Vader puts Han Solo in that carbon-freezing chamber..um yeah, a little nervous but I'm always up for trying something new once! My friend opted not to try it (ah come on!) as she was a little freaked out...Oh well! I was given the option to start and Beginner or Intermediate level which i believe is duration and freeze level...i'm here, heck give me the works...it did get a little intense and probably got out 25 seconds earlier than the 2 min session...legs were getting way too cold as the cold air blows from the bottom. Leah was awesome, and told me what she was doing, answering questions, and actually was there with me as i was in the chamber constantly moving....my bad for not putting on the face mask but i think i developed isicles in my nose! LOL...hmm...feels a little crunchy there...Felt different when i came out but not can pinpoint how...maybe, less tense? Anyways, then off to the float pods we gooo... Private rooms with a float pod, shower with pre- and post shampoo and body wash..It will take some getting used to if you've never done a float as your mind is going all over the place as you're left alone to chill, meditate, think...then little bouts of claustrophobia and drowning kick in! No worries, you're in good hands as you're in control of the pod - keep the 'hatch' open, closed a little or completely shut! You also control the lighting or opt for complete darkness which i did to shut out everything around me. The float went by pretty fast and you shower afterwards as you can feel to salt on your body...plenty of items provided for you such as hair dryers, hair products, Qtips, combs, etc. which is a big plus and makes it convenient. Scheduling an appointment online for myself and 2 friends was super easy...then having to change, reschedule, then cancel one appt. etc last minute. Coordinating with staff worked out without issue as long as u cancel 24hr in advance or be charged $25. 2 hour metered parking available on the street or some parking on the side streets...fairly easy for a weekday morning but can see if being a little hectic during dinner hours or the weekends. Thanks Leah and staff for a wonderful float visit! read more

Workers - such a delight to talk to about everything pertaining the spa and things not about the spa. Thank you ladies so much!! It makes the experience 1000% better cause of you rockstars! I did the cryotherapy and the Miss put it on intermediate but my friend was saying how she's a weakling basically so she got beginner level. Womp womp. Cons - gonna lay it out right away, IT'S COLD! I was nervous about getting in, but I did it and survived. Oh and parking is only metered street parking or residential a bit aways. Pros - I feel great! I got to see my little hairs freeze in the chamber and turn in circles like a penguin in there. They have the best slippers!!! Unicorns and bear/yeti? To die foooor. Pricing is a bit on the higher side but that's why they offer first time packages and multiple visit packages. Come and get yer freeze on with them or float! read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - The cutest slippers ever for Cryo!! - Float Spa Near Me - Oakland, California

First time using a float tank and I really enjoyed it! Very nice setup at reboot with the private room, shower, soaps, ear plugs, sandals, music, etc. They provide all of the little things that make the experience easy & curated specifically to your tastes. Staff was super nice and friendly to chat with. Tea was provided in the wait room both before and after. Excellent experience! Will repeat at Reboot! read more

I went here the other week for my first float experience. The float itself was an awesome experience. Beyond that the staff was friendly, the room and tank both clean, and the Reboot team walked me through everything. I'll be back soon! read more

My first experience at Reboot was no less than life changing. It was a luxurious, all encompassing mind and body experience. The sauna was top notch, the cold plunge was therapeutic, and the staff set me up with Bluetooth so I could play music throughout the session. I have to give a big shout out to Max B. I felt silly when I couldn't figure out the bluetooth, but he was so accommodating. As well, the room he set up for me was so clean, pristine. I didn't get to look at any of the other rooms to compare, but I appreciate his attention to detail and his customer service. He gave me more than customer service, he gave me a customer experience. I will definitely be back. Thank you Reboot. read more

Let me start with the person at the front desk. I didn't get his name but even the way he spoke was relaxing. He explained everything thoroughly and did it all with a smile. The other stuff members were also very polite and nice. The rooms were clean, the pods were clean, everything was emasculate. I was nervous for the floating experience because I decided to do it without music, but the hour just flew by. It's true what they say on the website, after a while you forget where your body ends and the water starts. It was very relaxing. Quick tip: makes sure you have your ear plugs and adjust the lighting before jumping in to the pod. If you try to get out after getting in the water from your hair will flow your eyes and it will sting like a mother. I brought my own lotion and hair products but they really do have everything you need. They even have Shea Moisture leave-in conditioner so good lookin our for the natural haired black girls. All in all wonderful experience. I'll be back for more floating and to try the cryotherapy. read more

Wonderful experience. Second time coming here and I need brought my mother after buying a mothers day package. Service was just as good if not better than the first time. The ladies are friendly, kindly answered all my stupid questions (first time and this time) not once made me to feel dumb about it. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. They offer tea and water as you wait for your pod to be ready. Everything is clean and hygenic. After the float i was able to hangout for a moment and reflect/collect myself with my tea in the lounge area. I felt refreshed and alot of my physical pains went away in the float, even if it was only for several hours (gym soreness). My mother also had a great time. I can't wait to try other services offered besides the float pods. read more

My life has changed dramatically for the better since I signed up for cryotherapy at Reboot Cryo Spa in Oakland! I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis, cervical lordosis, degenerative disc AND acute gastritis. Though I certainly drew the short stick when it came to my health, cryotherapy has made a dramatic difference in my overall health and well-being. So much so, that I am able to do things today (physically) that I was unable to do only a month ago. In fact, I have made so much progress that my doctors are astonished and I'm on less medication now than I have been in over a decade. The results of the therapy are not the only factor warranting a five star review! The staff is positively remarkable! They are helpful, informative, well educated and simply excel at customer service. Anna, Sierra and Elissa are always there to offer a friendly smile and always take care to ask after my health and happiness. Going to Reboot has become the highlight of my day, something I look forward to and doesn't feel at all like a chore. For those of you not knowing what to expect, Reboot has a "spa-like" feel. It is clean and quiet, with nice decor and pleasant music. The restrooms are well taken care of and amenities abound. Wanna check it out but not sure you're up for cryo? Stop by and try the infrared sauna for 30 minutes. You won't be disappointed. read more

First off, if you are coming for a float, make sure you do not have any cuts whatsoever. I guess I had scratched my head too hard that day, because it was super painful in the pod. But this is my problem, not Reboot's. I chose to leave early and they didn't make me pay which was nice. Unfortunately, if you are placed in a room near the front, there is noise leakage into your room, and you won't get silence (unless music is on). I tried to plug in my phone to play music, but the cord didn't work. The staff told me they would put on some of their music for me, but they forgot and didn't do it. Cool concept but the execution here leaves something to be desired! read more

WOW, what an experience. First off I want to give a shout-out to Perry and Naia, they worked on my very sore knee. Both are so sweet, and warm, and interesting and I was impressed with their customer care! As far a the technique, brilliant! My knee was iced x 3 sessions and is feeling much better! Thanks for Rebooting me! read more

I had been wanting to try floating for quite awhile now and Reboot was the perfect place to do it. I've since gone back and used the other services like sauna and cryo. The staff are friendly, everything is super clean and inviting. One of the highlight of my month again and again - highly recommend! read more

I have to say, the manager here is exceptional. I came for a float, loved the music and then promptly forgot what it was called. My second one ended up not being the same much-loved music. When I cam in for my third time (yes, I really like the pod thing), the manager helped me find it by cuing up different tracks and listening to them before we selected it. It took extra time and she was really sweet about it. THANK YOU! read more

The saunas at this place only go up to 140 degrees - too slow to get a real sweat on in the short sessions. For the price it should be able to go higher, IMO. The facilities are also not very detail-focused. Ikea shelfs, equipment strewn about the room - not very relaxing. I tried to get a glass of water and nearly knocked over the whole shelf when I turned the water jar's knob, it was so shaky. The light in the room goes off automatically when you're in the sauna, and then turns on when you go to the cold dip, so it's going on and off the whole time, which is also not relaxing. The buzzer on the sauna is not the nicest way to end the time. I'd save your money and go to Archemedes. read more

Excellent customer service by Jordan, clean establishment, and nice amenities. I experienced the float, and it was one of the most relaxing experiences I've had in a spa. read more

Love this place so much - I feel restored every time I visit and have really mentally benefitted from hot and cold plunging

This place is awesome--especially with the first-timer deals, it really makes it easy to try it out, and you'll probably love it. I have done the whole-body cryo, which was invigorating and exciting albeit very brief. I just did the float, and I loved it... I can't wait to do it again, it's incredibly relaxing. Reboot is super clean, has some crazy state of the art tech, and the people working there are super nice and great at coaching you through your experience. I highly recommend checking this out! I hea Minus a star for asking for a tip after my float. I guess everybody gets a tip these days... I actually inquired with the owner about why he was asking for a gratuity, and his contention was that floating in a tub is "100% service based"... and if I agree with him I suppose I will need to leave a tip for my custodians that clean my classroom after sch read more

I really appreciate the staff both here & the Mission location. Alyssa goes above & beyond and so do the girls at the Mission location. These people are the best. Thank you for being awesome! read more

Great place. Super clean and the staff was wonderful. I enjoyed my float. It was very relaxing and worth the money. I would recommend getting a membership. Try it out if you're thinking about it read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Spa Near Me - Oakland, California

Very relaxing float session. This was the first time for me and a friend; and the first time at this facility for another friend - I had suggested going here based on positive reviews and relative newness of the facility. Warm welcoming staff. Nice introduction to the process - after signing waivers on iPads, you watch a video which explains the process. Clean facility. Love the environment, lighting, room and water temperature (although my friends said it was too warm for them). The pod is reminiscent of a sci-fi vessel - it's very cool with the lighting options, and hydraulic exit mechanism. The shower area is ample, clean with nice fixtures, and there are plenty of towels. Have to be step carefully because the floor can be wet and slippery from pre- and post- shower, as well as climbing out of the pod. Nice waiting area in the back to hang out before and after the float - low lighting, deep comfortable chairs, water and hot tea available, as well as an area with hair dryer, lotion, etc. that you can use afterwards. Temp was kind of cool there though so suggest bringing a sweater. Some notes: 1. Given a choice of music or silence, we opted for music, but it didn't come on until almost the end, my friend said that the music could have helped her anxieties about the new process. She and I kept waiting for it to be turned on, and since there is no way to communicate to the front except by climbing out of the pod and going to the door, I wasn't going to do that for the music; so we went without. 2. Robes should be offered as a matter of course (maybe they want to save on laundry by not offering one to each customer, then if not used, they'd have to wash it?), or at least, offer one in case a client feels they might need to go. Else, if you need to use the restroom in the middle of your session, you have to wrap yourself with a towel to go get a robe, or get the attendant's attention. Having said that, when my friend had to go, the attendant came over to assist with a robe very quickly. 3. While the procedures are explained in detail - it is done at a fast clip, and you have to remember a lot of new things about the pod lighting, opening and closing the pod, use/location of the spray bottle and towel in case you get salt in your eyes; use of head floats, earplugs, Vaseline; and the shower. I would add pictures of the entire pod and shower area to your Yelp page. (Note: the e-mail notes to clients prior to their session should be amended to state that while earplugs are provided, one might want to bring one's own special plugs. My friends both got water in their ears which muffled their ability to hear for awhile after the float even after using q-tips.), and one friend said that swimming ear plugs worked for her in the past. 4. I asked if there was a panic button or some way to communicate to the front in the event of an emergency Since you are left in peace for an hour, if something untoward were to occur, you would not be discovered until the hour was up unless you were able to get to the door and wave down an attendant. (What if a client has a panic attack in the pod?). Is this the norm at float spas? Overall, it was a positive experience, I would return, want to see if I can achieve a deeper relaxation session now that I have less anxiety about the process and know what to expect. I would also recommend this location to friends; and Yelpers who are looking for positive opinions of Reboot Float. Parking was easy because we had late Sunday afternoon sessions. There was parking on the street, even though it's in a very busy location in Rockridge. read more

I've known about sensory deprivation tanks for some time now and have been a bit scared to give it try. I'm the type of person who absolutely loves peace and quiet. Being around too much commotion gives me anxiety, so the experience actually turned out to be amazing. I've been going through a lot of stressful situations lately, so I decided to book my first float. They make you watch an informational video on what to expect. The float turned it to be amazing. I felt like I was on a cloud, just me and my thoughts. At first I kept the pod door open. Once I was comfortable I closed it. Then I progressed to turn the lights off. It was cool, but the music actually made me feel too distracted, so turned the lights back on right away. Next time I won't have any music at all. I actually liked the feeling of being weightless without any distraction at all. The experience was super chill and euphoric. read more

I just went in for an infrared sauna session, and it was amazing. The vibe in this place is next level, you feel like you're entering a spaceship and leaving real life for a little bit. And everything is designed so thoughtfully. They seemed to have pretty much every little thing you might need to get ready before or after. I left feeling so relaxed, that when the friendly front desk person asked what my plans were for the rest of the day, I spaced out! Coz the stress had melted away and I forgot! read more

I've been coming here to float for a few years now. I have a history of upper back issues and more recently some sciatica trouble. Every float session is like a spinal reset for me and I always walk out of Reboot with a newfound calmness and rejuvenated spirit. The staff is beyond friendly, welcoming and informative. There's a delicious tea selection and spa water to enjoy. It truly feels like a resort in the middle of College Ave. Highly recommend any of their services whatever it is you're interested in. read more

Ugh, can I rate this higher please? They really outdid themselves with this new location. After having gone to Reboot in SF and becoming a member, I was excited to check out their new facility. It's much closer to me and I really LOVE the area. This location has a much warmer front and will definitely pull in the passer by as it is a much more walkable spot than the SF location. It's well lit, inviting, modern, and just generally cool looking. My favorite addition to this spot is the mellow lounge area and chairs in the back. After your float it is not that much fun to be thrown onto the street. It's nice to acclimate for a couple of minutes. Grab a cup of complementary tea and reflect before propelling yourself back into the world. This facility has a cryo booth which I am incredibly excited to try. It does look a bit intense/intimidating just to look at which I think makes it super cool (no pun intended). The people could not be nicer. Super accommodating and friendly. The tanks are I think slightly newer models of the ones they have in SF. The one thing I did notice was it was a bit smaller. I'm 6'1.5" and in the SF tanks I have been in I can reach out my arms to the side and over my head with moderate room. No big deal, just an observation. Will definitely be back soon, as in next week. :-) read more

This is the most amazing spot! I had both my knees replaced and my son recommended me to try the float and cryotherapy and they've helped so much in the recovery more than anything else. The space is very clean, organized, and so calming. It feels like a little vacation and If you have never been to reboot you must try it!!!!! Also Everyone who works here is so sweet and go above and beyond to make it the best experience. read more

Difficult customer service makes it harder to justify booking with Reboot again. I made a reservation a few weeks ahead of time for a Sunday evening float for two people -- it would be both our first times. A week before the scheduled reservation, I got ridiculously ill, but a few days before that Sunday, I began to feel better. However, I decided it'd be wise to be at 100%+ health before I tried to float, so I called in with more than 24 hours prior to the reservation time to cancel. The first woman I spoke with Saturday morning told me she cancelled the reservations and that I would get an email confirmation for the cancellation. I also confirmed if I would be refunded on my card, since I had paid for the two floats in advanced. The biggest catch here was that instead of refunding you automatically, they "credit" your account instead. In this case, I had two credits for two floats, should I decide to book again in the future. Supposedly for convenience's sake, so that you don't have to whip out your credit card and pay again online. I personally don't care for that convenience -- I will input all info again as needed. I told her I wanted a refund instead of the credits, and she said she would honor that. Fast forward to a few hours after the initial call, I get a text informing me that I was still set for the original Sunday reservation (meanwhile I had not received a cancellation notice from my earlier phone call). What? First thing Sunday morning, I call again. Turns out, when I had requested to cancel...it was never honored! I was still on the books to come in. A different woman informed me of this hiccup and cancelled the reservations again. Yet I still did not receive a confirmation email stating this. Finally, I decided to visit the spa in person to get things straight. Thankfully, the reservations were cancelled. But I still wanted a refund and a confirmation of the refund. Again, the woman at the desk gave me the credit run around bullshit. At this point, given the need to haggle them in person, I just wanted to be ensured I was getting my refund and be done. I'm sure I would've had a pretty good experience if I hadn't gotten sick, which led to my need to cancel. But my experience with their customer service (which is truthfully the front end initial experience at any spa) turned me off to wanting to book again in the future. Do you care about customer satisfaction, or just the money? I just cared to be done and out of there. read more

I come here once in a while for my floats. All my previous floats were amazing! Excellent experiences! Though this last time i went it was subpar at best. I know this isn't really for sensory deprivation but i def wish the pods near the front were a little more sound proof as to really create a more peaceful mediation for myself during my float. Probably my fault for not having music playing in the pod to drain out the noise. Another thing that kind of struck me as odd was the water temp. I figure it was supposed to be body temp, that certainly wasn't the case this time. It was at best room temp, so a little cooler them normal. Don't get me wrong this might have been just a one off experience, but also there can be some minor improvements made for a better experience. read more

I was honestly a little nervous to try floating. Me, alone with my thoughts in a confined space for an hour sounded a little intense. I was so wrong. It was one of the most relaxing things I have ever experienced. The staff was great answering all my questions, and the introduction video was informative and also included some laughs. They spared no expense when building this place. From the furniture, to the showers to the pods themselves. Everything is beautiful. I am now writing this review after my toddler just had a solid tantrum. I found myself much more relaxed during the tantrum and was able to calm her down easier as I remained calm. Float session definitely helped us all out. I highly recommend Reboot Float Spa. 5 stars! read more

I bought a 3 float package to help with chronic pain and this was my first time ever doing something like this. The staff were super helpful, friendly, and reassuring. The ambience in the room is so nice and relaxing! You have plenty of time to get in and out of the pods and they supply everything you need (ear plugs, face wipes, etc.). I was able to try the sauna as a part of my package and you can plug in your phone to play your own music. A lovely experience overall and I hope to come back soon! read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Spa Near Me - Oakland, California

I just finished my float and I have never felt so relaxed! I had built up tension and stress that led to alot of pain in my neck and shoulders. This one hour float took it away! TIPS: - Do your homework on what needs to be done before and after the float. (Sign waiver ahead of time) - inside the pod, their how-to video mentions you should try toning. I chose to play singing bowls during the whole session which was great, but next time I will try to work on silence and toning on my own. Can't wait to be back! read more

(FLOAT) What a fun experience and completely hooked! I booked our appointments with the V-day deal. One pod per room, so you are separate. We first signed the waiver then the associate took us back to the room. He then briefly introduced us to the pod, the environment, rules and what to expect during the session. I do wish he took more time in explaining the whole concept. I think he just assumed we did our own research. There is a shower in the room, you pre-shower with the pre-soap to get rid of your dirt and oils. Then in you go. Be expected to be fully naked and get wet all over except for your face. You can adjust the lighting in your pod and even the music. (Only axillary cords are provided) Earplugs are provided and all the toiletries. They are very thoughtful with all they provide. So you could easily do this during your day and then be fully ready to carry on with the rest of your day. After the session you do shower with the after soap and shampoo. I did, however, shower once I got home. As for the experience during my float, it was fantastic. 1 hour seems long but it flew by. I had my pod slightly open to let air pass but I got cold. Pods look very intimidating but not at all once you're inside. I was afraid to feel claustrophobic but 100% did not. There was so much room inside. Hard to imagine yourself floating but you do with how dense the water is. They do provide neck pillows to help your head stay afloat. I ended up removing it half way through the session and thought it was much better without. I felt so weightless, calm and got lost with the music. I loved everything. Looking forward to my next session! read more
