These guys have done a great job of opening a unique business in Airdrie that everyone is talking…read moreabout! The staff member (one of the owners?) working the front desk made us feel comfortable when we went in and gave us a quick tour and tutorial on how things work. (A friend and I went at the same time, but- of course- different rooms)... One person per room people! Not so complicated... shower, float, shower. BUT it is so much more. I thought to myself when I first booked this experience was 'How the he$$ am I going to lay here for 90 minutes!" So, the first little bit (for me) it took me some time to assimilate to sensory deprivation- I also chose to keep some dim lighting on as an option. From there everyone's experience tends to be different. For me, my thoughts went a million different ways until I started to relax then KAPOW, my session was over. I was so relaxed I actually fell asleep laying in 12" of salt water! Note how earlier I mentioned separate rooms, one room is 'open' with a very large float area and the other has a 'closed' float area- still a large float space in the privacy of your own room. Since I have a touch of claustrophobia I opted for the open room and my friend took the closed room and had no problem with it. They provide everything from the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ear plugs, towels, bottled water, etc. Thank you for the introduction to the floating experience, no better place!

As a human who seriously mistreats himself on a regular basis, sometimes giving into the stresses…read moreof business + life, and always having that elusive battle with the control I attempt to exert over the life and future I am building myself; and then the 'universe' periodically pulling the rug out from under me to let me know that all my efforts are for nothing - floating at clear float spa has been a wonderful experience. Imagine where you can goto a place where your entire experience has been thought of. From the moment you book and shortly after walk through the door, their entire business is built around making everything in my first paragraph irrelevant. Floating is whatever you make it, but in its most clinical sense, it is the removal of the over-stimulation the world can force upon us. It is a calm and safe place where you are weightless, floating, and just letting go. There is no, or very little, auditory stimulation - so much so that you really notice how much background noise that you process at any given moment. I choose to float without lights (it is optional, so don't let that scare you, but recommended) and the combination of removing auditory and visual stimulation just allows your brain go to towards amazing places. You get an opportunity, should you choose to take it, to see a true reflection of yourself, to let thoughts and ideas come and go, and really just connect back with who you are. In my case, i kind of forgot who I am, and floating helps remind me of that. Give it a shot, I now float on a regular basis, and it is incredible.

Amazing experience. It really gave me or anyone the opportunity to trust ourselves, the…read moreenvironment, and reflect. The staff (Sarah) is the nicest service person I have encountered. Super patient, thorough, and kind. I wish I live in Calgary to continue the membership. I was there for three days and floated twice. The inspiration quotes and beverage after floating are also notable. I would recommend anyone to try out this spa! I cannot say enough to recommend them. With love!

If you ever want to feel like Eleven from Stranger Things, here is your chance! You won't be going…read moreto the upside down or anything, but you will definitely have a chance to completely zone out in a futuristic-lookin' pod filled with 1200lbs of salt (yes, 1200lbs)! I've been curious and wanting to try out floating for a while and a friend of mine recommended this place. It was a convenient location for me in Kensington and I heard that they will be opening up a new place in Marda Loop. You can call or book online a session which run for 1.5hr. It sounds like a long time to just float in water, but trust me it goes by faster then you think! And you can also leave at any point before then as well. When I first arrived, there was no one at the front desk and it took some time getting the attention of the one staff there as the very loud filtration was going on in the back so it was a little noisy when I arrived. The staff introduced himself and brought me into one of the rooms. Inside the room there's a large pod, a shower and a basket of stuff if I needed it. The staff was a little fast in explaining everything, but I got the gist of everything. You shower beforehand, put in these squishy putty in your ears to keep the salty water out and I decided to use a floaty pillow that was provided for a little bit of extra neck support. The water I was told was body temperature and I was surprised how effortless it was to float. I'm not going to lie it took a bit of time adjusting to the environment. There was no music in my room (there are in pods 5 and 6) so I was really left with my own thoughts. I actively tried to get as relaxed as possible and really focused on my breathing and heart rate. Once I eventually did slow myself down, I felt completely weightless and I became so relaxed and zoned out that I couldn't tell what part of me was in the water and what wasn't. It felt like I was floating in space. Music came on to gently "wake me up" and tell me my session was over. Getting out of the tank was so hard because I just wanted to sleep I was so relaxed. I wish that the outside temperature was a touch warmer but the staff member told me that they can actually adjust both the temperature of the room and water. So good to keep in mind next time I come in. Overall, I think it's a really neat concept for those that just want break from the business and stress of life. It definitely helps to be in an environment with absolute zero distractions, noise or any pressure from your body and just to really focus slowing your mind down. Give yourself some time to adjust to the new feeling for sure! Definitely give this a try after a workout session or in the evening, especially closer to bed time, you will for sure be ready for it.

I had a very good experience floating with FloatLife. A…read morefriend of mine had suggested that I tried it because I also like meditation. I was hesitating at the beginning but then I saw a promotion of 5 floats (60 or 75 mins) for $175.00 + tax I decided to purchase it. After confirmation of my purchase I went to their website to book my session. At that time the Kensington location was still open and that's where I went. For first timers, the staff will play a video so you know what to do and what to expect. They also ask if you have a preference on the music that you'll be hearing; you can also bring your own audio device if you want and they'll play it for you. After that I was taken to one of the rooms where the staff person briefly explained again a few things and left me to enjoy my floating session. There are ear plugs to prevent the water from getting inside your ears and also a head foam that will keep your head afloat. The water and room temperature is really comfortable, it helps to relax and enjoy doing nothing haha. Since I am able to quiet my mind because of mediation, it was easier for me to enjoy my session. Once the either 60 or 75 mins have passed, they turn off the music and turn on the lights. You get out of the pod and there is a shower inside your own room where you will want to shower to remove the salt from your body. They provide shampoo, soap, and towels. I felt very relaxed after my session, I stayed in reception for a little bit before going back to my car and back to reality.

But to me I am shocked for the reputation that Canmore holds in general as an amazing town and experiences that are Beyond! Or unique - in a good way. This was not that. im blown away they all shower in these showers and use these towels etc and literally don't seem to mind or care. Maybe they can't see because of the relaxing dim lighting. But I could. I didn't even shower there. Wasn't comfortable. This was my first time to a Float location in years. I use to frequent the one in downtown VICTORIA, BC. I definitely don't go somewhere with the intention of not great feedback... but this was hard to ignore and needs to be addressed. Every Float location is different, clearly, just like everyone's home is different. some keep their homes cleaner than others and if that's how they keep the business then unfortunately I cannot recommend. It did not feel as welcoming or relaxing as i thought or envisioned and was very rushed. Not even quiet relaxing music even if it was low at the desk. It was nothing. I came early I thought maybe I'll have a tea check the vibe or what who knows - play it by ear and it was An odd greeting like "why are you here" mentioned my appointment and name and that I was early and it was like here. Start. Bye..... I asked if I could at least use the washroom first?? I'm not a demanding person I suppose I could have said or stated vs being offered... "I am going to have a tea first" but when it's not offered and seems rushed being at the core a people pleaser I just went in as fast as possible because that was what was being shown/delegated. I can listen to meditation music on my phone so that helped a bit. Until I saw .......the towels. Towels honestly are the most bacterial generating forms of fabric in anyones home. Even When people think they are clean, if not washed and dried properly they can still be dirty. This is not new news. If times are hard I get maybe it's expensive to buy. But I tell you now if you invest in little things that make a larger impact maybe it would generate more business. Because these towels looked worse than a sports locker room or college dorm. With one girls mascara and foundation on one. I am sensitive to make up and scents so I don't wear any so it was not mine. Nothing in my face the towels were so thin and grey from dirt. These towels are naturally to be white. I had a feeling about the shower once I saw this and turned on the light to see. because I am shocked in a vastly used public setting that anyone would use a plastic curtain that can harbour pink mold. staff are highly unlikely to care enough to spray and scrub that down, and you can tell. It just makes me concerned. I love the alkaline water but then again makes me wonder if the stones are being boiled and filters changed to have clean drinking water. I didn't try it After this. I just wanted to leave. I think obviously they could have a wonderful space or float in general there. Float is a great company. But this one needs some TLC and improved cleanliness big time. The art is lovely. Please improve this because I'd want to go knowing I'm floating in sanitary conditions and able to have clean towels and shower. Thank you

Updating as I've received feedback from my insurance and the owner seems to believe that this is a…read morepublic complaint, not a review. My intent is to be fair and post what is true to my experience, nothing more or less. I did not have an expectation of the same people on staff all the time. What I appreciate as a customer is an introduction, especially as I'd been in a few times and had every intention of being a regular client. My opinion of the website layout is just that - my opinion. I have seen the booking software elsewhere and have not had issues, but have come to believe that the array of treatment choices are what complicate it for someone trying to self-serve with this business. What I took time discovering: You cannot just change treatment type, but must book a new *time you do NOT want with the new treatment type. Next, you must go back in to rebook again for the time you previously had. You can jockey it around like this or just call. It was closed when I was doing it and I just wanted it done. Recommendation: call in and save the time and trouble. Regarding how the treatment was coded for insurance (massage versus acupuncture), I DID bring it to the attention of the front staff. This person advised me that she was new and because of this she had *called the owner for advice* when the massage claim was denied. When I tried to point out what I'd received for treatment and what I thought I booked, she was firm that the blended treatment was to be coded as massage, not acupuncture. Because this was a definite answer, knowing she had asked for help and wanting to avoid pressuring her (false claim), I chose to instead appeal to my insurance provider. Green Shield confirmed the front desk person had acted correctly. So, I thought I was getting something claimable as acupuncture, but I was not. I am now concerned at the offer to submit to a 'different option'. Photos taken are consistent with other reviews and not 'part of my complaint' as the owner seemed to think. I was actually charmed by the stained glass and appreciated the cleanliness, wanting to highlight both. The renos mentioned in the reply were not apparent to me; it was fine.

His schooling has taught him well. His soft tissue work is amazing and has increased my ROM through my hips/pelvis. He knows and realizes that a release is not going to happen. He uses gravity and gentle traction to increase my ROM and adjusts/releases as necessary. He's not your Chiro that just does neck, cervical and spine adjustments. He treats your body as individual as you are. Crystal Pellerin is the RMT that I have been introduced to by Dr. Androsoff. She is fantastic!! She quickly found the points of my body where I need "help". I began to have painful stabbing pains through my left pelvis while getting into bed. She researched the possible causes of the pain and worked on them and after a couple of weeks, the stabs of pain were completely non existent and I remain painfree. Crystal has magic hands and knows what parts of the body to focus on. I have been pain-free and massages no longer "hurt", nonetheless a good "hurt". My weekly, standing appt is the highlight of my week. I go to her and Dr. Androsoff weekly to maintain my body/spine. Well worth the drive to Cochrane to maintain my physical health.
