A very underrated wellness spa located in the heart of Manhattan, a few blocks from Grand Central…read more Almost don't want to advertise what a gem this place is! I've only tried the float therapy here so far. The float rooms are located in the bottom floor down this very steep staircase, but inside it is nearly completely soundproof (or as soundproof as one can get in the middle of Midtown...). The experience is very relaxing, as you get a huge private room to shower and then float in. The tubs are also really big so you don't feel claustrophobic. I appreciate the amenities as well, like lotion and little packets of Vaseline to cover up cuts. You get plenty of time to shower before and after your appointment so you do not feel rushed at all. Staff is very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. They do not try to upsell you on stuff and kind of just leave you to do your own thing, which I really appreciate.

There are two private sauna rooms, both are large and fully stocked with towels, a robe, cold water, eucalyptus infused face towels and wipes. I prefer sauna room 1 because it has a private shower.

I've been eyeing their list of treatments online, and I am really looking forward to trying their salt room and floating chamber. I highly recommend the Chill Space!

First time floater! Read about this a while ago and always talked about doing it. A friend of…read moremine had done it several times and highly recommended. Not only did I want to do this to figuratively wash away 2023 and bring in 2024 in a more peaceful, calm setting - but I also happened to throw my back out 2 weeks earlier and was looking to stretch and soak the pain away. The experience was amazing from start to finish. Upon entry, we checked in at the front desk. We signed in, signed waivers and watched an introductory video explaining what we were to expect. We removed our shoes and socks and left them in cubbies up front. If you do not have flip flops, there are paper ones available for you to walk the premises in. This is where I tell you to bring your own flip flops if the idea of paper ones turns you off. From there, we were brought to our private rooms. Inside my room was the float pod, a sink, a shower and a spot to leave belongings. They provide disposable ear plugs, which you'll want to use as you'll float with your ears submerged underwater. Everything is explained again before you're left alone in the room. I disrobed and showered. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash, along with a washcloth and towel are provided. You're not to use conditioner prior to entering the pod. Once you're done, it's time to submerge yourself. There is a handle which you can pull the cover of the pod down easily. There is a button to control the lighting, along with a button to control the music. Additionally, there is a small spray bottle full of fresh water that you can use should you get the salt water in your eyes. Admittedly, I had to use it - twice. If you feel too enclosed, the choice is yours to float with the pod open. I went in with lights to familiarize myself with the pod. I listened to music on and off. The music is soothing spa like type tunes. The volume controls were perfect. I chose to do the majority of my float in the dark with moments of complete silence. It was peaceful. Calming. The water warm. The way it flowed over me, suspending me mid pod was so relaxing. I stretched to the left and right. Arms to my side. Above my head. Completely outstretched. Allowed my toes to guide me along the way throughout the pod. At one point, rested my arms, criss cross, under my head and fell asleep for maybe 5 minutes. I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to be in the moment so I made myself wake up lol. After the hour passes, a voice comes on indicating your float is now complete. You're to exit the pod at this time and shower again. While I was showering, the filtration system in the pod comes on filtering and cleaning the water you just exited from. Once dressed, there is a primping station down the hall. They have lotions, deodorant, individually wrapped combs, q-tips, a hair dryer. I brought my own personal effects but this is good to know in the event you'd like to travel light. Once ready, I relaxed in the common area. Made some tea and just took everything in. I felt a calming sensation. At ease. Super relaxed. I could've gone to sleep. We stuck around for maybe 15-20 minutes. Once we were ready to depart, we visited the front desk and paid for our time. $93 later, I really enjoyed myself. The front desk woman was super pleasant and explained everything perfectly. This may be something I choose to do at the end of every year to cleanse myself of what the year has done and to prepare myself for what's to come. It also may be something I choose to do again if my back gives out or I'm in any type of long term pain. Quite an experience, which I highly recommend.

I've always enjoyed being in water so I figured it'd be an enjoyable experience and it was! Rob touched on all the things I was worried about coming in during the orientation before my float which allowed me to feel fully prepared for the experience. I slowly turned off the sound and both of the lights once I felt comfortable and was able to rest like that for a while before shutting them each back on one by one. If nothing else, this is a really fun experience just to float freely and effortlessly but once you fully surrender it really is the most relaxing experience. Highly recommend!

Wow! Love this place!! Made appointments for my boyfriend…read moreand I for the floatation therapy, nuratec, sauna, and cryotherapy today. Right when we arrived we were greeted. Very friendly staff! Both ladies were great. Very informative and helpful. I love the aromatherapy and the complimentary tea and water. The tea was delicious! I love that everything looked so clean. We felt safe! Everyone was masked. The floatation therapy was incredible! Each pod was clean and the showers were unique! Love the whole experience!! The infrared sauna was great too! 149 degrees. We detoxed. The large sauna was perfect for us. The lights were also a cool feature. The "full body" cryo was okay. Negative 249 degrees F. The nitrogen didn't reach quite as high as the full body one I did in NYC. So I probably wouldn't come here for full body cryotherapy again. Felt great from the waist down but didn't get much higher. My boyfriend loved the nuratec on his legs. They have legs, hips, or arms. He said it felt great. It's similar to the machines at the pharmacy that take your blood pressure but for your whole leg he told me lol. I would try it! We were told it's like a massage using air. It's pretty cool! We will definitely be returning here for some more treatments. :)

So I ordered another service. This time I paid for its Fast forward one week, I emailed to cancel. I will be leaving the area and can no longer keep my appointment that I made for two months from the purchase date. They refuse to issue a refund and want to keep it as credits. This is not how you do business or treat customers. Also their "lounge" is non existent. Just a bunch of empty computer boxes. There was no where to sit. Not worth the price they charge for any of their services.

The guy at the front desk was very welcoming, he greeted us as soon as we walked in. He told us it would just be a few minutes while he got the rooms ready for us. He was very thorough in explaining the process and offered us waters and showed us where we could get some should we need more during our time there. The place was also very clean. They provide robes, towels, slippers, pretty much everything you need. I did the two part experience, starting with the sauna and finishing with the float. I started with the sauna where which was 45 mins then moved to the float which was 1 hour. The only issue I had here was that the sauna room was too small. I was unable to fully lay/stretch out on the bench, which would've made for a much more relaxing experience. Instead, I had to sit the 45 mins with my knee bent and the bench was hard on my butt despite them having a towel down. The float was by far my favorite part of the experience. It's right across from the sauna room. The guy again comes to take you there and explain the process in detail. There's a shower for you to use before you get in the float and to get your body ready and acclimated to the temperature in the float. There's float has light and relaxing music, both of which you have control of if you want it or not. I turned the light off initially but it was way too dark for me lol I felt trapped so I opted for lights on. The process was so very relaxing that I even fell asleep for a while. I was woken up by the audio telling me the float has ended and thanks for floating. It also tells you that it will begin the cleansing process soon so you should exit the float. As I was showering and getting ready to leave, I saw it going through the cleansing process which was good to see. Definitely recommend this float if you are stressed or just need a mental break. It was good to just be in there with you and your thoughts to reflect and detach and then eventually, truly relax!

I was initially worried because of a past claustrophobia event during an MRI (I'm not usually claustrophobic but I freaked out during my scan and had to be calmed down). Hubby and I had time off together and decided to take the trip to LI for my session. He booked one for himself as well. When we arrived, Raymond checked us in. He explained what we should do in preparation for the session and provided us wutg wax ear plugs. Each room is single occupancy with its own shower (with soap and shampoo), towels, slippers, and bacitracin (if you have any scratches on your skin). It would be best to not book right after shaving or if you gave open wounds, because you'll be floating in a high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), which could be irritating to cuts and abrasions. They provide the bacitracin for you to put onto any scrape you may have, which alleviates the sting. Once in the room, you disrobe and shower. You must be clean before entering the tank. The tank is like a clam shell, you climb in and use the "pillow" under your head to keep your head afloat. You're completely naked in the tank and you just float. Napping has exponential benefits while in the tank. Once you set your session, the tank does all the work. You can listen to music, adjust the sound, or just stay in the quiet room. I fell asleep a few times. Because of the high concentration of MgSO4, you're floating and have pretty decent buoyancy. I have locs, so I brought my own swim cap - I would suggest bringing one of you don't want the liquid saturating your hair. Raymond examined how to put on the cap, with the hair on the very top of your head, and the side of the cap covering your ears. I would say, however, not to cover your ears because it creates a spacc for the liquid to seep into and for that reason, I was a bit unhappy with what happened after my session. Once the float is done, the tank let's you know. You exit the tank, hop in the shower, and clean yourself. Once you leave the tank, it begins it's self-cleaning process. The water is swirling around and around and I'm guessing they use UV to help clean it. I did not realize that there was soooo much salt in the tank. I thought I did a good job cleaning myself off in the shower, but because the water got into my swim cap some, once it dried, everything that still had remnants of the water, dried white. Once we headed out, Raymond had water waiting for us. That was refreshing. You should not have a heavy meal or drink a lot of fluids ahead of your visit. I was wearing a black dress and the drips from my hair would dry on my dress and then turn white. You really have to rinse yiursf off very well. It would be best to schedule this kind of experience on a day when you have nothing else to do. I will say that for the actual experience, it was very relaxing and felt amazing but the aftercare was a lot, especially with the salt drying. I would do this again, but definitely will not be going anywhere else afterwards.
