    If you watched Gravity and thought floating aimlessly through space looked fun, a float pod may be for you. Received a four float pack as a gift and didn't realize they expired until I happened to open one two weeks after the expiration date. The owner graciously extended my dates by a month but unfortunately I was not able to use my entire gift. If you have never been in a float pod before it is definitely something worth trying at least once! The staff will guide you through the process (earplugs before prep shower!) and then leave you to your journey. There are controls for the light and music within the pod so you can decide how deep into sensory deprivation you want to go. I would highly recommend the thin neck halo to keep your face out of the salty water. One of the best naps I've ever had was in a float pod and the halo kept me from a rude salty awakening. If you are someone who has trouble turning your brain off to sleep at night, the float pod may be a meditative challenge. The zen spa-like music in the pod can help drown out the monkey mind. The pictures are from room 4 which has a accessible shower with seat and movable shower head. Taking a shower with their provided toiletries and then relaxing in their lounge with hot tea extended my zen. I think its an experience worth trying out... but maybe just start with one session :)

    This place is great. I didn't know quite what to expect but it was one of the most relaxing things I have ever done. The whole staff was very friendly and 100% on board with making the entire experience smooth and simple. The facility was clean and the pods are awesome. If you have never floated before I highly recommend it. I was a first timer and I will definitely be back. Floating in the darkness (my choice) was incredible and the feeling when I got out was like I'd just woken up from a full night's rest. If you are having doubts, stop. Just go and do it.

    So happy I found The Float Zone. Went in for my second float yesterday and let me just tell you, it was incredible. My first float was nice but because it was a new environment and something I had never done before it felt slightly unnatural. However, this last float was so relaxing and I was able to doze off during my hour session. When they tell you to give it a few floats to see results, do it! This location is so clean, the staff is friendly, and they provide pretty much everything you need from ear plugs, shampoo, soap, lotion, towels, etc. They also give student and military discounts! The lounge room where you relax after your float has hot tea and water too. I would highly recommend giving a float pod a shot if you want to change up your self care routine!

    I floated for the first time a few days ago and absolutely loved it! I had been hearing a lot about float tanks recently and was intrigued by the idea, and was so excited to hear that a place was finally opening in Richmond! I was a bit apprehensive going in the first time, as I am extremely claustrophobic. However, the "pod" was large enough that I didn't get nervous. Each person has a private room, and the pod is in the middle of the room. You are able to leave it as open as you like, and can leave lights and music on if you feel more comfortable. I opted to get in with it fully closed, in the dark, and turned the music off after I felt comfortable, and didn't feel claustrophobic once during my hour float. It was a very unique experience that's hard to explain, but I felt very relaxed and calm throughout my float, and came out with the same sense of relaxation afterward. I suffer from a chronic pain condition, and can see how multiple sessions could be beneficial to my health and in lowering my daily aches and pains. The Float Zone is beautifully decorated- very open and light with soothing colors and accents. The lobby is welcoming and the actual room where you float is great- each room has a private shower that is nicer than my shower at home! Shampoo, conditioner and soap are provided, and there is an area with hair dryers, lotion and q-tips that you can use as well. Finally, there is a "post-float lounge" room which was so cool! There was a fireplace, cozy couches and adult coloring books where you can continue relaxing before heading home or back to work, etc. To make a (very) long story short, I really enjoyed my experience at the Float Zone much more than I expected and can't wait to try it again soon!

We stopped in specifically to use the salt room rather than the float chambers because winter is hard and my little one has been fighting off the after effects of a nasty bout of pneumonia for a while. I was willing to try anything to help her get rid of her cough. Maybe it is purely coincidence, or maybe this is legit, but she didn't cough once while we were in the salt cave and her cough cleared up and hasn't come back since we went in February. I liked this place because of how peaceful it was to sit in a nice, glowy room and chill out in a reclining chair with a blanket for an hour-ish, but I love that it really seemed to help my little one breathe better. I'm sold. It's also pretty cool that the first person essentially rents the room for $20, then you can bring up to 3 other people and they are only $10 each. Discounted rate so the room doesn't just sit empty with you, nice! I do wish they had a more accessible entrance though, wooden stairs only, so they do not appear to be walker or wheelchair or even stroller accessible.

After the massage I did a 45 minute session in the salt cave. Check out the website and articles written about it. I was so relaxed after my massage I really enjoyed the time spent with my eyes closed and my feet up, breathing deeply in the cave. Highly recommend this experience.

I read the website to get an idea of what to expect prior to coming in and arrived a few minutes before my time. The gentleman that checked me in and gave me a tour made me feel quite uncomfortable. He explained things multiple times and stayed in the float room, in my opinion, way too long. There are signs in the room explaining the process and his incessant talking was too much. I purchased an hour float. I would not recommend this experience if you are prone to vertigo or nausea. I am not, but I felt very strange after floating. I had a dull headache and nausea for hours after. The room and shower were clean and you are advised to shower after floating. They offer toiletries, but they were not formulated for all hair/skin types and were practically empty. If you don't want to redress with salty skin, I'd advise you to bring your own toiletries. When I was checking out, there were several female employees lingering in the hallway staring at me. The same gentleman tried to upsell me on a massage to follow my float and to rebook. I declined both. I just felt very uncomfortable - physically and mentally. Not the right vibe for me. I'll stick with a professional spa or Fuller School for massages.
