I've had about 15 floats with East Coast... ("ECFS") thus far and I figure my opinion is formed enough to carry some weight. I've floated before, ranging from fringy deprivation affairs in 90's Manhattan/B'klyn, to slightly more commercial versions. So, while I had a good idea of what I expected with my floats, what I was looking for with ECFS were some other attributes: ease of scheduling, comfortable float spaces, and ease of experience. The whole "ease" bit is simply because my life is really busy and I need to be in and out without hassle. So here's what I like about "ECFS": - The rooms are clean, well appointed, and well designed. If you don't know what I mean by "well designed" just know that condensation, air flow, salt deposits, and space can be a real issue. - I came to float but there are extras that are worth your time: I love a float followed by 10 minutes in the massage chairs. Through some combination of luck and skill the team have picked chairs that, frankly, don't suck. Try "relax", 3G, all dials turned to 11. - The leadership team and staff are really nice. At first you may not be able to tell them apart but this is what I know from observation: the staff are engaged and thoughtful. The owners are conscientious and determined to provide great service. (A side note: I was there the first week, before even their "grand opening", and they were still trying to figure things out. Most days I was stressed and operating on a severe time deficit and just wanted to float. I am what you'd call a high maintenance (read: difficult) client not because of what I want, but because of what I don't want. These guys (and gals) read me pretty quickly and accommodated while spending the right amount of time with other clients that wanted hi-touch.) - Scheduling is easy, membership is hassle free and sans strings, and incentives are nice. In terms of criticisms? I don't really have any. I'd use the oxygen bar if it wasn't a noisy scrubber and was an actual tank, but I am sure there are some restrictions on this... Some days were cold but the team adjusted really quickly to tweaking the water temps and air temps when winter came... Water conditions and levels vary some if you're paying attention, but they keep it topped off usually and play some with the secret sauce of salts and the client will rarely notice. Again, I don't really have any complaints. In summary, great spot, great design, great business plan, and good people. For what I am trying to achieve with floating ECFS delivers. I recommend ECFS. read more

This was my first time experiencing a float spa, but it won't be my last! I arrived on time and was greeted by two very nice guys who directed me to take my shoes off and put slippers that were available on. I looked around a little and it seemed extremely clean and very welcoming. The other guests and I were directed to a room to view a short video about the proper usage of the float rooms. Next we went to an actual tour of all of the rooms and were directed to which one we had reserved. I offered to change with anyone who wanted to but everyone was happy with the room they had been assigned. Take a short shower, insert your earplugs and enter the float room. Open the door and and overhead light turned on so you can get in safely. It shuts off by itself after a minute. The room then had ambient lighting ( which you could shut off) and was very soothing. Very quiet. All I could hear was my breathing and my heart beating. Relax and breathe!!!. I couldn't decide if I was more comfortable with the float pillow for my head or not. I kept changing the position of my hands etc. but eventually I settled into a comfortable position. Relax and breathe!!! Be very careful to not touch your face because your eyes will sting terribly -but there is a bottle of water and a washcloth in the float room in case you should need it to rinse your eyes. It was over it in what seems a very short time. I checked my watch and it was definitely over an hour! Take another shower and then get dressed. I was offered a cup of tea which I accepted, and I decided to try the oxygen bar, which was the only disappointment. Next time I will try the massage chairs. I felt very clean, very relaxed, my skin felt very soft and I went home and fell asleep rather quickly. Definitely experience I want to repeat! read more

My flotation experience at East Coast Float Spa was great! The front desk person was very welcoming and courteous. The rooms are very clean and well-maintained. The float room is spacious -- you can comfortably step into the room, and when lying in the water you can stretch out however you want. I could relax my neck fully, and the water (containing 1000 pounds of Epsom Salt) supported my head just fine. The water line was above my ears but comfortably below my face. The provided earplugs did their job and kept the water completely out. After getting oriented in the water, I immediately noticed a level of relaxation just from the experience of floating. As I remained still, this level of relaxation deepened further and further. I felt like I was just "there", at the center of a sensory experience whose boundaries seemed to extend indefinitely into space. This was a very calm place to be. I found that I could choose not to fall asleep, and was able to maintain more awareness than usual during the hypnagogic state. I didn't experience any strong ganzfeld effects though, or anything like that. It was easier to maintain awareness on the breath. With the sense of touch quietened, I could hear my breathing in more detail. I flashed back in irony to a few weeks ago, when I was in almost the exact same posture in an MRI machine. I had earplugs on then too, but the last thing I could hear was my breathing! And then too, my head remained still for an extended period of time. But instead of requiring effort and incurring neck tension, it was happening without effort and relieving tension! Whoever invents an MRI flotation room will have lots of happy customers :-) All in all, a genuinely tranquil sojourn whose calming effects carried throughout the day. Highly recommended! read more

Thank you again for the unique and amazing experience at your East Coast Float Spa on Thursday afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to returning for more relaxation and complete meditation. Your spa is beautiful, clean, inviting and ultra modern. I had a sense of calm from the moment I walked in the door. The massage chairs at the end of the Float Spa experience were state of the art and felt outstanding on my sore muscles. The watermelon infused water was refreshing and quenched my thirst immediately. Very nice touch! I shared my 5 star experience with my Fit Ryde clients Friday morning at my 5:45AM class in the studio and will continue to tell my members about East Coast Float Spa at all my weekend classes tomorrow. Your glossy brochures are being scooped up at the end of class by my Fit Ryders as they are intrigued and excited to give it a try. I am very confident you will have many of my regular Fit Ryders come through your doors, especially since I was raving about my smooth skin and relaxed muscles as a result of the 60 minute float the day before. While I have found deep tissue massages and time spent in my outdoor hot tub to be very beneficial and helpful to ease my sore muscles after my regular rigorous workouts, the results that I experienced at the Float Spa were superior to both! read more

Unlike any experience I've ever had. Unforgettable! Hmm how to describe it. Well it's a spa where u have ur own room with a changing area, a shower and a float chamber. The float chamber is ten inches of Epsom salt water that is so salty that u float effortlessly in, just like people do when u go swim in the Dead Sea. The water temperature and the air temperature are exactly the same as ur body. When u float in the water u feel like gravity doesn't exist, the most comfortable I've ever felt! u wear earplugs and the chamber is sound proof. U can choose whether u want a little blue light on or if u want to turn it off. Here's the thing, if u turn off that light then u have taken away ur sense of sight, hearing and feeling. Unless u touch ur own body u feel like u are nothing. I could hear my heartbeat. It was absolutely amazing, pure solitude and relaxation. If u could feel what it was like for ur body to become a warm liquid this is what it would feel like. I didn't have many thoughts I just relaxed and for a few moments I had some visions of my life and then for awhile I just felt nothing but I wasn't sleeping. I went for an hour, I should've went for longer! Definitely the most unique experience I've ever had. Check it out! read more

Floating was one of the best experiences of my life. It was very insightful and peaceful. I was completely in tune with the stream of my thoughts and I was able to think very clearly. I also was able to fall into a deep state of peace and relaxation unlike anything I have experienced before. I was thinking much more creatively and visually, and those effects have lasted for days following my float. I have also noticed that my memory and awareness are sharper than usual since floating. I feel like the experience quite literally activated my entire brain. I have had several creative insights and ideas in the days following my float. I went into the experience feeling very tired, having only slept for a few hours the night before, and I emerged feeling completely rejuvenated. It was very refreshing, both physically and mentally. A great way to unplug, unwind, relax, reflect, and reset. I would recommend floating to everyone. The benefits are too numerous to list, but I will say that it is the ultimate form of "letting go," and it is a very deep and insightful experience for self-reflection. I would do this every day if I could. read more

Recently, I found a groupon for The East Coast Float Spa and I was immediately floored and excited about the idea. I bought the groupon and booked my session a few days later. This float spa experience was quite possibly the most amazing therapy I have ever had. It is serene and comfortable in the space that they give you. There is quiet music and a large tub of heavily salted near body temperature water. You float in this water effortlessly. It is amazing, completely amazing. I have already booked three more sessions since my first appointment. The staff are very friendly and will guide you through the entire process. They seem very used to dealing with people like me who are not sure what is going to happen. I asked questions like : am I floating in a big tub with other people?. They calmly responded, no, it is a private experience with your own personal shower. Also, it is not a pod kind of thing with a low roof. You are basically in the most serene personal and private environment possible. It worked wonders for my pain and I am sure it can help others too. read more

I gave it a 4 since I haven't tried all the services they have to offer. Went for my first float and it was fantastic! From the moment I walked in the front desk person meet me with a smile and a calmness that put any trepidation on my day at ease. The place is very clean and the float room was well-maintained with towels, wash cloth, hair tie and everything I needed for my shower afterwards. I did the 90 minutes and was well worth it for my first time since it took me a while to calm my mind and to get use to the whole feeling of floating. But once I did, the time went to me quickly ( I might have fallen a sleep). I came out of the pod truly relaxed and strangely the soreness in my shoulders was gone. Like the room where I was able to relax even after I came out of my float room very tranquil. If you have never or would like to float I would highly recommend it for yourself. It is cheaper then a massage and some mani/pedi's places so treat yourself to this. I have already signed up for more sessions and can't wait. read more

My first Float was yesterday and WOW! What an Amazing experience! Ryan Z. was so professional yet down-to-Earth nice. Everything was so clean. The Float rooms with showers were modern while the Float space itself, was spacious with a cool blue light at the foot of it. My first time, so I had to play a little bit. With a thousand pounds of Epson salt/sea salt in the water I was truly floating! I ended up turning off the lights for the full experience while drifting first to one side of the pool then feeling myself float to the other side and so on. Then about 1/2 way through the experience, I totally zoned out, still aware but in a deeply relaxed state. I came out with zero pain - having been in a car accident a few months ago, that in itself was joyous! I also slept like a rock that night which I haven't had the pleasure of in a while! Incredible! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! read more

If you want to UNPLUG there is NO better place than the East Coast Float Spa. I own my own business and that means I am never really off the clock. Life has so many demands on all of us and it's hard to find "me" time. The Float spa will totally deliver on that. I like to take a problem in with me to "work on". Since there are no distractions, and no interruptions I can often just float and let my mind go. It's almost always buzzing around the first few minutes and then I drift in and out of "time".... by the end of the session my problem has either been solved or I have a serious direction figured out. I love the massage chairs afterward and I often indulge in the oxygen bar too just to give my brain a hit of good stuff. I have never had a bad experience with staff and the website makes scheduling a time to be in there a breeze. read more

Even though it was during Covid times, my first float visit was great. Liz was really helpful in giving me the lay of the land, and I felt really comfortable with the safety precautions in place. It was super clean in the spa. The entire experience was private - they clearly didn't schedule any other customers at the same time. It was like tenting out the place to myself. After my float, I had plenty of time to relax alone and drink tea in the lounge. The float itself was lovely - I could be alone with my thoughts without any need to focus on my body because I was so comfortable. I found my brain shifting between gratitude and actual problem solving. The music and salt lamps in the spa provided a nice touch. As did the dark chocolate piece left for me after my float. read more

I have had the most wonderful floats at East Coast Float Spa! I don't think you'll find nicer employees than at this place. They are very accommodating and always just so pleasant. I've had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners Matt, who is very down to earth. You wouldn't even think him to be this person. Floating is very peaceful and it does wonders for your body. Magnesium is a very important mineral that the majority of the population lacks and they are not even aware of it. Floating in this tank for an hour or more is an excellent way to get the magnesium into your body. You'll find that you're calmer and just more relaxed overall. Hey, don't take my words for it, check it out for yourself. read more

I recently had my first floating experience and it was a great experience. The spa is very clean and well maintained. From the moment you walk in a sense of relaxation and calm comes over you. The staff is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I was a little nervous about floating at first but the staff answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. Floating is definitely a unique experience. I floated after my first half marathon and immediately felt relief. My joints and feet which were very sore and swollen felt better instantly. I was so relaxed that towards the end of my session I fell asleep. I would definitely recommend floating and will be floating again very soon. read more

I love floating at East Coast Float Spa! It is the most AMAZING thing to add to my relaxation tool box. I mean really now, when you can soak your entire body in Epsom salt and magnesium for an hour plus in your own private room, what's stopping you? I've been floating now for over a year. I'm a massage therapist and pharmacy technician and I only wish this place was in my back yard! Please try it out for your health and if you don't like it, then don't do it again, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Less stress, relaxed muscles and joints, soft skin, better sleep, serenity, bliss, peaceful mind, etc, etc. I am not a spokeswoman, just a customer. Thank you. read more

This Float Spa has revolutionized my running recovery! I stopped by after I ran a full marathon, and immediately felt this Float Spa was different from my previous experiences. As soon as I walked through the door I was struck by how spacious, clean, modern and friendly the spa was, and how knowledgeable and friendly the staff was. The Floating experience itself was amazing! I was so relaxed I fell asleep :P I came out of my float blister free (quite a feat after running 26.2 miles) and my legs felt more refreshed than they did prior to my run (not to mention how soft the salt blend made my skin feel)! I will DEFINITELY return for race recovery and general relaxation! read more

Wow...just what I needed! I went for a float yesterday and the experience was refreshing and relaxing in a way that traditional spas can't provide. Not only was it a major stress reliever but it did wonders for a sore lower back I gave myself lifting too much earlier in the week. I'll definitely be doing this again. The experience was seamless from start to finish, and the facility is well-maintained, clean, and staffed by professionals. If you're doing the 60-minute float, budget some more time before and after...there's some prep involved and at the end you won't be in a hurry to leave. read more

This place is the real deal. I have floated countless times and have been to quite a few float centers. This one is far and away the best. The manager Josh was great. Clean and relaxing environment. They show you a 7 minute video before your float which is something that i haven't seen anywhere else. All float centers should do that. Definitely very helpful for first-timers. They have 3 custom built floatrooms that provide a comfortable and inviting environment. I would recommend this place to anybody, ESPECIALLY skeptics. Will be back many times. read more

I had an amazing first experience floating yesterday. I was able to relax and my neck and back are starting to feel better. Everything was explained very well for my first float. At one point I forgot I was floating. I liked that you can turn off the blue light to be in complete darkness. I like the atmosphere there and it was nice I wasn't rushed. I now have a membership and already scheduled my next float. Thank you and I will be telling people about East Coast Float Spa. Including gift cards for Christmas! read more

Some of the warmest staff I have ever encountered. The staff here is professional, kind and they set an atmosphere of calmness. The floating experience here leaves nothing to be desired for me. I enjoy coming here and having "me" time in a state of the art facility. I am thrilled that this spa exists and for all of the improvements I have seen in my life thanks to my experiences here. Nothing but great things to say about east coast float spa. Would recommend to anyone. read more
