Amazing experience. Very friendly front desk. Made things very comfortable. The float is very relaxing. Place is very clean and upscale.

Lordie, Lordie, I just did my first float during the soft opening for Michael Garrett's Reboot Float Spa in San Francisco. As a claustrophobe (not a real word, or is it...), I was a little concerned going in. But my worries were unfounded. There's a very dim light in the pod that you can keep on, if you want, but there's no need. The pod doesn't have a lock or a latch; it opens by pushing it lightly. If you shut off your mind and float long enough, you begin to feel like you're dreaming. It was one of the most ethereal, relaxing feelings I've ever had. It's yoga meets hot tubbing meets lucid dreams. Can't wait to make float therapy a reoccurring thing in my life. read more

This place has helped me so much. I need one in my house. I suffer from back pain and I'm always looking for some reprieve and this has given me some for the duration of time that I'm in the Pos. I also like that you can play your own music. read more

What a wonderful experience we had! I was a bit nervous at first, just because I didn't know what to expect. We went in early and were greeted by Danny. He is super friendly and made us feel at ease. You will be given a 5 min video to watch and clean flip flops to wear. My suggestions are 1. Use the earplugs and shower cap. If you have a swimmers cap, even better! 2. Use the neck float and put a towel around your neck first. 3. If you have issues with quieting your mind, have the music on for the whole time. You can play your own music too. 4. Put a small towel over your chest to keep a little warmer. 5. Keep the egg shut all the way, it keeps it warmer. 6. Place a towel on the face to prevent salt getting onto the skin. 7. If you shave, shave at least 4-5 hours before. They also have Vasoline packets you can use to cover and open wounds. The facility is very clean and has lots of toiletries in case you forget them. My body felt wonderful afterwards. I hope they open up one further down the Peninsula. Thanks Reboot for a great experience! We will be back for sure. read more

For any athlete in need of some much needed recovery, Reboot Float Spa is for you. The Epsom Salt filled tubs are great for sore muscles and heavy legs. The spa is super clean and it's really easy to make an appointment online. I'll definitely be back...since I signed up for a membership after my first session. read more

My first infrared sauna experience at the Reboot Spa was amazing! Everything was perfect - easy online purchase, checking in, front desk lady was kind and friendly and answered all my questions, sauna was clean and easy to navigate, so definitely five plus stars! read more

Had my first float yesterday, what an amazing experience. It's incredible how floating can drop you into a deep meditative state that would otherwise take a lot of training and patience to attain through normal meditation. The owner Mike is very down to earth and the place is impeccably clean. It's almost like stepping into your washroom at a high-end hotel. Instructions are clear and easy to follow for a successful first float. It's apparent much attention has been placed on making the entire experience as easy, simple and enjoyable as possible. I'll definitely be coming back...that is until I get my own tank! read more

When it comes to floating, I'm a newbie, and I'm so happy I started the journey with Reboot! The owner, Mike, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about how a series of floats can change your life, and he helped me clearly understand the treat my body was in for. Starting with a hilarious welcome video, I was then ushered back to a private room for a quick shower before hopping into a beautiful white tank filled with body temperature water. It took a bit for me to fully relax, but once I did, I drifted into a deep meditation with the rest of my senses taking a much needed vacation. The ride was over after an hour of floating into sweet nothingness, and after getting out for a rinse it was obvious why Mike chose the name Reboot--my body felt incredible! I'm excited to come back to continue exploring the benefits such a powerful relaxation and meditation modality. If you're curious about floating, just come! My bet is that your body, mind and soul will thank you! read more

First time to come here today and I already booked my next three floats online! Clean facility, easy parking, friendly staff (Justine)! Pay attention to the instructional video and the "pro-tip" signs posted on the walls. Definitely put the earplugs before your pre-float shower. I felt really thirsty after the session. Downed three glasses of water at the lobby! Love this place. Yes to reboot! read more

This was my first time visiting a float spa. I was open-minded, for sure. The staff were great, very relaxed and welcoming. I was in the right mindset for my first float. Unfortunately, as a first timer, I was hyper-aware of any signs of disrepair or uncleanliness (I knew I'd be climbing into a bath that others had used, and was OK with that). But, when I inspected the float chamber, there were multiple things that turned me off. The float pod itself had cracks in the outer plastic, exposing the insulation. Inside the pod, there were 'rings around the tub' - dark lines of dirt or oxidation. On the sides of the tank were signs of old dripping deposits of dirt or oxidation - dark, dried, drips. General build-up of the salts was evident on most of the surfaces of the tank. Once the lights were off and I inevitably had to grope around the inside of the tank, I just kept feeling unclean plastic (mostly salt deposits), but because I couldn't see, my mind assumed it was the dirt I had seen before I turned out the lights. It totally ruined my float - thinking the whole time 'just don't touch anything'... I wanted to love it. But, I ended my float 30 minutes early once I realized I wouldn't get over the uncleanliness enough to relax. I strongly encourage Reboot to fix/replace their equipment as it starts to look worn. I also think they should clean the pods to a higher standard. I haven't ever posted photos in a yelp review before, but I am trying to figure out how to do it and will update with photos. Overall, if you aren't fussy about these details and love to float, I'm sure this place will be great for you. But, for me, I just couldn't get into it under these conditions. read more

Amazing therapy sessions every time! I felt like every aspect of my life was imploding and going awry. After my first float session, all of my stress seemed to wither away for a couple of days. It was so great that I purchased a membership. The owner, Michael, was very friendly and accommodating in helping me set my account up. Also, at both of my visits, the Front Desk coordinator, Justice, was an amazing and very professional help. She explained the process like a pro, and offers a great first impression of the spa. Kudos to the team! I am excited to be back every couple of weeks! read more

Beautiful spot to float in a sensory deprivation tank void of sound and light (unless you want light and music). Just bring yourself. They provide all amenities. Clean. Nice staff. Go!!! read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Spa Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had such a great experience at Reboot. Loved the feeling of the warm salt water and being able to completely relax and shut down. Was like going on a mini tropical vacation in the middle of a busy city! Loved it and will definitely be back. :) read more

Loved this cute little float "spa." Booking was super easy and informative. When we arrived we just got off the plane and due to a delay we went straight there. They kindly stored our luggage in the back and got us settled right away. The girl at front desk gave us a tour, instruction, and away we floated. The float room itself was super clean, well stocked, and had a private shower. Best float place I've been to so far. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, reasonable prices. read more

Beautiful facility. Incredibly relaxing and therapeutic treatment!! Highly recommend this experience to help with stress relief and better sleep! read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - My tank.. Started off with some soft music then silence and super quiet. - Float Spa Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm glad I did it, although I doubt I would do it again. I felt weird in the tank for a while until I fell asleep, which was nice.

One of my best friends and I had our first float experience today. It was a little weird when I first climbed in the pod but once I settled my mind I fell into a very relaxed state. It is hard to describe what it feels like. Yes, yes you feel like your are floating but it's a bit more than that. I didn't fall asleep, but I wasn't quiet awake. All I know is I was relaxed. I chose to float in silence & complete darkness. I figured "go big or go home"! Well it's not silent the whole time they have music play the first few minutes and the last few minutes of the float. If you are not a fan of the dark you can have the lights on. If you want to listen to your iPod you have that option too. I can't say I felt different right after the float, I felt good but nothing out of the ordinary. But then a couple of hours passed and I noticed it. I noticed that my bursitis wasn't bugging me. My muscles felt good, rejuvenated. My mind wasn't racing. I actually felt fantastic! The float took the literal pressure off my body and mind. I'm definitely doing this again. I plan to take my nephew & the other Besties next time around. Set up, introduction, staff, facility, & amenities were all fantastic. They provide almost everything you need, all you have to do is show up & follow directions. read more

While I was back home visiting family a few months ago, I popped into Reboot with my girlfriend and a friend for our very first float ever. I'm a professor and the semester had recently ended and I was in between conference trips on either ends of the country. So, when a friend recommended I try a float to unwind and recharge, I figured why not. I thought it'd be a 30 minute soak in a closed, claustrophobia-inducing chamber type bathtub where I could, at the very least, unplug from the world for a bit. I thought there's be bright lights, then no lights, and that the experience would be kinda nice, but generally a little awkward. I was wrong, so very wrong. The spot is a cool little dive in North Beach. You walk down a couple steps into a cozy, but not cramped staging room. The music and lighting match what you might expect to find if you were to cross a coffee shop and a lounge: mello and relaxing, but also energized. The owner, Mike, was super friendly and excited to have us. He was really laid back, really informative, and was more supportive than pushy. He really makes you feel like he's there to help you figure out what's best for you. I got the feeling that if I wanted to back out, he'd totally be okay with it and would even take me to a bar around the corner to grab a beer instead (since we were his last customers of the night, we actually did grab a beer around the corner after our floats). After we watched a short entertaining and informative video on the dos and don'ts of floating (e.g. don't float on your stomach because you don't have gills), he walked us into our spacious individual rooms, that each had a faucet and sink, a shower, towels, and a float pod. After I showered, I stepped into the warm pod, shut the door, and, to my amazement, ACTUALLY FLOATED!!! Something about the Epsom salts in the pod make you literally float in top of the water. There's no struggle; you just relax and lay there. It was amazing! I could control the lighting (complete darkness or a dim purple/blue glow) and music (I opted for no music). It wasn't completely silent in there, but I definitely felt isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. I won't detail my experience because everyone's will be uniquely different. I will say, however, that I had moments of pure relaxation, moments of insight and clarity, and moments when I was so moved by my time alone and unplugged from the world that I cried. To sum, in a world where it's so hard to pull away and find some solitude to shut off the CPU, collect your thoughts, and reboot, this place is a godsend. When my time was up (I didn't have to stay in the pod the whole hour and I didn't), I showered and joined Mike and the rest of my crew out front for some water and beverages (important to hydrate before and after). There was an energy that filled the room. It was as if we had wiped the slate clean of our stresses, worries, and preoccupations and were stepping back into the world with a fresh start; a similar feeling to when you get back from a really inspiring vacation, ready to tackle the challenges and obstacles ahead of you with confidence and zeal. This place is a spiritual diamond in the rough. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, whatever. You can find the right interval to utilize the power of isolation in a controlled, safe, and comfortable environment to get recharged. I had a great firet experience (I still get a bit emotional thinking about it two months later) and I'm confident you will, too. Float on and prosper. read more

This is easily in the top 5 best things I've ever done. I came in for some back/joint issues and the epsom salt made my spine feel perfectly aligned. The floating and the sensory deprivation forced me to give up trying to be so in control of my body and mind. I left feeling like I had just been born, or even just died and came back to life. Except it wasn't scary, it was just an odd sense of calm that I hadn't felt in a long time. Anyway this is a Yelp review not a diary entry or so I will just say Reboot float spa has just as many mental benefits as physical. Also, I hope I floated in the same pod Steph floats in. read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float Spa Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came into this place for the first time on Monday 4/27 and was pleasantly surprised! The facility was clean and all employees were courteous and professional. The experience itself was... INCREDIBLE. I wish I could describe it to you on here, but I haven't the words to describe what took place there. You just have to try it! It'll change you. It was unreal to come out of there, all relaxed, to the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. Do yourself a favor and try it as soon as you possibly can. read more

Fantastic way to meditate. They also offered a lot of hair and skin products to help you re-hydrate after your float and everything in the building was clean, calming, and perfect. read more

Incredible float pods, great shower, earplugs, etc. Water was the perfect temperature, and everyone was very helpful and attentive. Super relaxing!!! read more

Amazing experience, fantastic facilities, complete zen and relaxation. Service so welcoming :) I wish I lived closer so then I could float every week! read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Float spa zen :) - Float Spa Near Me - San Francisco, California

I found Reboot Float Spa via a GroupOn and What a fortuitous event! I have the best experience before, during and after my float. I am 100% going to come back and do it again. The staff was nice and courteous, informative and helpful. I was very comfortable and both before and after my float which was very important in helping me prepare and relax. read more

Reboot Float & Cryo Spa - Bliss at Reboot - Float Spa Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've floated at a ton of other places both in SF and in NY and Reboot is one of the cleanest float spa's I've ever seen. The staff is warm and welcoming without being cheesy (which can be common at these sorts of places lol.) After floating a couple times, I signed up for one of their memberships and wish I had done it sooner it's so much cheaper, single floats are $89 dollars and with my membership I think I'm spending like $45 per float. All in all I highly recommend this place, reading some of the other reviews makes me think that people don't really know what floating is. It's not like going in a hot tub and its super salty so you should expect a little dry salt around the pods. read more

This was my very first float spa experience and I must say, it was very nice. Afterwards it felt like I'd had a nice massage, I was so relaxed. I'd take this over a massage any day. My skin felt very soft too. The water was just the right temperature. I think I fell asleep for a bit at the end. The owner was very nice and the facility was very clean. The next time I want to relax and treat myself I'll probably go here again. They offer 3 month minimum packages that don't expire as well as per session. Unfortunately, the location is a bit far for me and the pricing a bit more than I choose to spend at this time, but I definitely recommend this place, especially to others who haven't tried a float spa before. read more

I wasn't quite certain what to expect for a float spa. Reboot is super clean, friendly, and a real cool experience. I reached a point where I am not sure if I was in a deep trance, or fell asleep. It's quite interesting. My only issue was the need to crack the pod door open a bit for air. Other than that, the entire experience will have me coming back for more. read more

I was in a bicycle accident 4 months ago and have had a lot of lingering neck and low back pain. I have tried a lot of recovery methods but once I started doing the floats I was finally able to be pain free (lasting me several days). It is amazing the difference you feel from when you go in to when you are done with the float. There are many different reasons to float but if you are looking for some pain relieve in areas that we are constantly stressing day to day I would highly recommend floating! read more

Reboot is the best Float Spa I've been to. Great environment, perfectly maintained float pods, clean and bright. The 2 week lead time on appointments betrays what their customers think: "Let's go back!". Thanks Reboot! Tom T read more

This place is amazing. Mike the owner is super nice and very welcoming. The place is immaculate, almost sterile. The pods they have are great. I'm hooked, I did my first session yesterday and I'm going back today for a second one. read more

For the ambiance alone, I keep coming back to this place versus its competitors. The pods feel futuristic and clean, and a major bonus is the option to increase the temperature! This is essential because, well, imagine being buoyant above water in a cold environment. Not pleasant! I love that you get your own personal room with a shower and the pod. There's also a room available for you to get ready with basic amenities if you're heading out afterwards. Tip: Workout beforehand, such at Soul Cycle which is nearby. Finding physical presence during your workout will help you reach stasis during your float faster. I was super lucid during my first two floats, but since my third float I've been comatose during. read more

The experience was amazing! After the float I felt totally stress-free and got super relaxed. It gets even better after the first experience. I only came twice but will be coming more, even considering getting a membership. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's looking to unwind, get closer to inner-self and stay away from the chaos of everyday life for a bit. The first time I was in a bigger room comparing to second time but both of them were great. the facility is super-clean, very relaxing and the staff excellent. read more

I'm the first to leave a 3-star review and I do so with hesitation... look at all of that glowing feedback! But on balance, maybe someone will see this and benefit from it. Pro's: Clean and new facility Good instructional video Provides flip flops for wandering around inside to further preserve a dirt-free environment Water temperature is nice I was really looking forward to trying this out and maybe I should come back for another session. My first float left me very dizzy and lightheaded, almost nauseous. I do get motion sick on ferries and amusement park rides, so perhaps this was to be expected. I tried to stick with it for the entire 60 minutes, but I could barely make it halfway until needing to get out. I had to rest when I got home and didn't feel great for the rest of the day. My other feedback is with women in mind! All of that salt really does a number on your hair. I used the post-float conditioner but my hair (normally straight and smooth) was really tangled and sticky. I had to keep it pulled back for the rest of the day because the texture was driving me crazy. A repeat shower and shampoo improved things by 50% and hopefully continued washing will get my hair back to a pre-float pretty. Despite my reluctance to return for what probably are personal reasons, I hope this business is a smashing success! read more

For the TL/DR crowd: Clean, well-appointed float facility with 4 chambers available. Staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Details: I received a two float session gift card from the other half. I did have a problem on the first visit; the staff responded appropriately... the review will cover the second, very enjoyable float. Earplugs in, check. Face dry before entering tank, check. About halfway in (temporality is a bit warped in this environment), I hear a voice saying, "That's why Colonel Sanders got out if it." I kind of wake a bit, wondering what that's all about. At this approximately halfway point, I sense that by having been still for a long-ish time, my senses tell me I'm embedded in warm (i.e., body temperature) jello. I love this cradled feeling. I have a number of dream-ish sensations, all pleasant. Let's touch on the therapeutic aspects: I'm an amputee. I have persistent and bothersome phantom pain. At the halfway point, as I get the jello-mold effect, the pain that pervades my (absent) left hand is replaced with the pleasant, no-pain sense of the hand itself. Daaang! After this session, I realize that my PTSD is diminished... loud, sudden noises make me jump and/or head for cover. The diminishment seems due to the need for system stimulus -- I can sense the spring-powered hinge on the cabinet door as it swings to (a loudly) closed position, and am thus not jumping. Winning! Simple conclusion... I am happy and will definitely do this again. Sorry if that's TMI, but you get that. read more

**ETA** I ended up cancelling my membership, as it's been too difficult to get an appointment. Yes, they have online booking system and you can sign up to get cancellation notices to take slots. But people are booking out services at least a month in advance and taking slots from others. And the cancellation notices are first come, first served. Often late night. Service is still great, and they were very cool about me cancelling, but it just wasn't worth it for me anymore. I'd still recommend this place, but good luck getting in. One time I mentioned to a friend I wanted to try yoga to de-stress. Without hesitation, he replied "you'd be a total menace in that class". And there you have it, confirmation that my nephew, also a menace, is a chip off the old aunt. The BFFs talked me into this, & I went in with a super high level of cynicism. Or you know, just the NYer attitude. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this and am looking forward to my membership! Basics: ^ Make an appointment, I hear Sunday's are low-key. ^Parking: We went early Saturday am & there was plenty of street parking. There's also a garage at Lombard/Webster that cost $6 for the time we were there. ^Informational Materials: There's a video you can watch if it's your first time, & a tips sheet. ^Prep: use the restroom before! There's a shower in the room w/bath products for pre & post float. Not necessarily the ones I'd use, so if you're particular, bring your own. They do supply Burt's Bees face wipes if you've got your face spackle on, this was a neat find for me. You take a quick shower before, then get into the pod. ^Float Time: I wish I'd read up on some ways to slow down my highly erratic thought stream. It took me about 40 mins to get there. I am a checklist person, and ran thru everything before my brain quieted down. The experience itself is cool, I'd ask for warmer water the next time. You can have music & lights, but I went all dark. It's really soothing & calming. ^Post-Float: the music kicks on about 5 mins to the end, and the jets come on at 2mins to the end. I regretfully got out of the pod then & took another shower. Would love to see them add more towels. I'm bougie & need a separate towel for my hair. They have hair dryers & other supplies as well so you can get ready there. I had an amazing night of sleep after this. Normally a light sleeper and the BFF had to bang on my door to wake me up the following day. My dreams were also very vivid! My recommendations would be to add more natural products, and better earplugs. The service was amazing, I forget her name, but she was super sweet & genuinely friendly. TL;DR: just do it! read more

I would have given this 5 stars but my hair got caught in the jet at the end & this could have been a very tragic accident. Fortunately I was able to pull my hair free. I did inform the gal that gave me instructions just to make them aware that this could happen which is dangerous. It could just been my luck but just be aware. Place was very clean & the float indeed relaxing. Too bad mine turned into panic! read more

I can't wait to float again! I slept so effortlessly for the next 3 nights following my float. I'm not quite there when it comes to meditating and actually clearing my mind but I did my best and it really helped my mood. I have only floated the one time but I will be back soon. The staff was super friendly.;.I feel bad I forgot his name. It felt very clean in there and being in the pod was one of the coolest feelings. It feels like you're floating in space. Give it a try! read more
