Meh, I guess I got my hopes set to high and found myself thinking "did I just pay for this?" You are taken to a room that has a pod in it. They give you the run down and ask you if you want music or no music and then tell you how to close the pod and to shower prior to going in. The concept seems cool but then 10 minutes in I found myself asking how much longer do I have till this is done? I was told that usually you'd have access to the oxygen bar, but due to COVID they aren't doing that right now. Overall I've had better floating experiences in the pool in my moms back yard (which is also salt water). Checked it off the list, not for me, won't be back.

I did Float Therapy and experienced the Oxygen Bar for the first time yesterday...and I'm ready to tell my story 50 pounds of salt felt slippery than expected. The water is set at body temperature (93-95) it does get kinda warm in there since you're detoxing. Music is available, you can use the neon light or have it pitch black (my fav) it was AMAZING! I still feel refreshed and calm. I ended up signing up for a monthly membership because I need this in my life on a regular! The Oxygen Bar was dope as well! The Proponents of oxygen "therapy" say its to boosts energy levels, increases your endurance during exercise, helps you bounce back more quickly from physical exertion, provides relief from stress and pollution, increases your concentration, helps you relax, and eases headaches and hangovers. I chose the Spearmint flavor since the Lavender was being used. Overall a BOMB ASS EXPERIENCE. I would suggest checking out Groupon or Yelp for specials and discounts!

Beautiful spa and atmosphere. Patrons and employees were so kind. Tea service was great and oxygen tank was a very cool idea. Showers were nice and the get ready room was very convenient.

Tried this as something new and different and wow it is! The staff is welcoming and professional. My first float was interesting, it took a minute for me to feel relaxed but it was an interesting almost dream state, it went fast after I let myself relax and lessons learned wear something loose to these sessions, you will be warm to hot after the session and bring a comb and hair product to get the tangles out if you have long hair. The lounge are is inviting and relaxing for the post rest and the tea is always yummy. Enjoying these sessions as it allows me to let go of the weekly stressors and clear my head.

I came here yesterday and was so incredibly excited for my first time with this experience. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations and I really didn't enjoy it at all. Upon first entering, you will be asked to complete a short waiver. If you have recently dyed your hair or are on your period...reschedule. From my understanding, the water is filtered but reused, so if they can't reuse the water it's a $750 charge. This makes sense because there is a lot of work and money that goes into filling the pods. After completing the survey, you are directed to the "TV Room," which is basically a space with some chairs and a TV on the wall. Once everyone for your time slot has arrived, they will begin the video. It is a brief 6-minute informative video that goes over the pods and their purpose. From there you are given a "tour" through the lounging room to the pods where they further explain how they work. Your session will begin exactly at your scheduled time, so don't be late. Each of the rooms contains a private pod and a shower, so you don't have to bring a swimsuit and I was actually recommended not to bring one because of all the salt in the water - it can cause a really tough time for cleaning your suit! The first step is to shower with the provided shampoo and body wash. They do also provide ear plugs and recommend you use these prior to the shower, but having been a swimmer for years, I elected not to use these. To begin your float, there is 5 minutes of soothing classical music that will play. The rooms also have a 5-minute timer on the motion-detecting lights, so you'll want to be in the pod so the music can end when the lights go off. The pods themselves also have an internal light with two settings - on or off. I was in the first pod, and unfortunately it could not close all the way so I was cold the entire time I was in the water due to a draft coming in from the room. Because of this, I had a very hard time relaxing, getting comfortable, and I honestly did not enjoy my experience. At the end of your time in the pod, the music will begin again. At this point you have 5 minutes left, but I got out pretty much right away because again, I didn't enjoy my experience. However, what I noticed right away when I turned the light in the pod back on was the mold.... Not something I was excited to see. I showered, got dressed, and headed out to the lounging room even though I was not relaxed, tired, or refreshed (I felt exactly the same as I did before this) to color and try the oxygen bar (which is included in every float). My scent was jasmine for relaxation and I thought it was just really subtle, but discovered about halfway through my time that I actually just hadn't been getting any oxygen or scent because it suddenly turned on. I will say that everyone was very pleasant and chill, but this experience for me just wasn't a good one. The pods look cool but I don't think I'll ever do this again and it really just felt like a waste of my time and money. Additionally, this was supposed to help with pain but my back and neck are now hurting significantly more than they were before.

I wasn't sure what to expect and am claustrophobic so a little nervous and hesitant. My husband got this for me for Mother'sDay and I know I needed to relax.... so I went. The space is very nice and the ambiance was relaxing. The float was very strange at first. I kept the door open. Then gradually felt brave and closed it. It was an amazing sensation and I forgot where I was. The million thoughts swarming in my head were eventually gone and then it was over and I felt I was floating in space. Exhilarating. Relaxing. Definitely what this mom of twin 1-year olds needed.

Kristen and Tanner were the two most welcoming people during this amazing experience! I was new to True REST Float Spa and they were very eager to answer all my questions I had. They offered my girlfriend and I tea right away when we were there, some Eqyptian-Cinnamon flavored tea that was some of the best tea I've ever tasted. You have to arrive a little before your float time to check in, get all rinsed off and situated because right at your appointment time is when you are supposed to be ready to float. If you never tried this, IT IS NECESSARY that you put it on your bucket list to at least try! But I warn you...go once and you'll wonder why you have never done this before. The experience was the most relaxing my body has ever been able to experience. The entire place was so comfy, warming, and accommodating. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner they provide is excellent quality, my skin and hair felt so soft afterwards!! They have a little hygiene room where they provide hair dryers, straighteners, curlers, Qtips, deodorant, extra towels, lotion. Pretty much anything you would need! Afterwards, they have an oasis room where you can enjoy some more tea (yassss), enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, and enjoy a complimentary 10 minutes at the oxygen bar for first-time visitors. I HIGHLY recommend this True REST Float Spa to anyone who wants only the best, most relaxing experience!

Always an amazing experience with magically wonderful staff. This place/ franchise supports Veterans so naturally they have my alliance. Thank you for a little calm in the storm of life!

Overall, our experience was unlike no other! You do your research and read articles and watch videos but everyone's outcome is different. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and came here to float with my husband for his birthday (birthday wish granted). From the initial phone booking and rescheduling to the in-person interaction, everyone we interacted with portrayed outstanding customer service! You truly feel welcomed and wanted here! Going anywhere during Covid-19 while pregnant is a scary thought, but honestly I'm one of the one's who just can't stay put and I'm gaining weight and starting to feel the pressure on my lower back so I wanted to try this to alleviate some of the pain. Tanner was the one who showed us around and he wore a mask and they had hand sanitizer available. He gave us a tour of the facility and a quick run down of how the pod operates and to shower beforehand and afterwards. For my experience, the first few minutes were achy and my body felt really stiff and tense. I turned off the lights and then started to really relax and my body let itself unwind so gloriously. Then midway through I started to get restless and then it felt too humid so I cracked the pod to get some cool air. I thought about how me and my baby were both floating. One in amniotic fluid in my tummy and one in salt water in a pod. It made me really feel at one with my baby. I know cheesy right, lol, but it was truly an experience like none other for me and even more so since I'm pregnant! My husband said he had his pod closed the entire time with the lights off and he loved it! We both experienced some tightness and nerve jerking in the beginning but then our bodies settled down and we were able to relax. Overall, we enjoyed every aspect of it and would do it again! I'd highly recommend you give them a try! They have a special on Groupon and do different specials throughout the year!

Stressed out? You definitely won't be after a visit here. This place can for fulfill your sci-fi dream of going inside of a giant egg shaped pod. Plus, you will feel like you're floating in space with your brain in a jar, which is a pretty neat experience. It's a little escape from reality without going into a dream like state. Some say that you feel like you are inside your mothers womb when inside of one of these things, which is an interesting thought, but I think it's more like a galaxy floating experience without the instant hypothermia. Okay, ethereal description aside, True Rest Austin presented itself to me one day while scrolling through glorious Groupon. I've heard and read about sensory deprivation before, and was itching to try it. This spa had the lowest rates in Texas when I searched for it, and I think this is the best option in the long run. First off, the pods are sooo much cooler in person. Second, the spa experience was so calming and clean. The shower space and bench setup was right next to the pod, so the transition was seemless. Third, after your first float, you are offered an oxygen therapy session for free! There's 3 flavors: vanilla, lavender and ocean breeze. My advice for everyone reading this, yes YOU, is to go try this out! You will NOT regret it and will want to come crawling back ASAP. Thank you True Rest for the extremely courteous and patient nature of the front desk rep. She was so informative and gave a calm vibe throughout our new experience.

The customer service at the Manchaca location is stellar. I came on the wrong night for my time and she rescheduled my appointment. Absolutely fabulous service, very relaxing, very clean, great amenities. I needed to relax before my upcoming surgery, and I will be a repeat customer in the future after I am healed. Sit at a desk, have a stressful job, need to just relax and rejuvenate-this IS the place to visit again and again. Before and after the float, they have a peaceful room to relax in. After the float, I did have a cup of fresh brewed tea and zoned out for a few.

I had my first float and fell in love with the entire experience. I booked this out of curiosity and came out with the knowledge that it will help me de-stress and work towards a better night sleep. I am not great at meditating or staying still for very long, but floating made it so easy to relax.
