First float experience! As a new customer, I had to arrive 30-minutes early to watch an instructional video and take a tour of the float suite. I completed the waiver forms ahead of time. The facility is clean and inviting. There is a "zen area" (my words, not theirs) where you can enjoy tea, doodle, color, journal, and enjoy the oxygen bar. For the float, you can borrow slippers and use them in your suite. They ask that you shower before entering the pod. You could also listen to music or go without. They provide ear plugs, a towel, soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Once I started to float, I felt a little nauseous. The video warns you of this. I sat up and waited for it to pass and then tried again. It felt a little stuffy in the pod and I wished for fresh air. The hour goes by very fast and then you can shower and get cleaned up before leaving.

I wanted to find something for me to destress & just to treat myself a bit after the election & I could think of no better idea than to finally try out a float spa for the very first time! Essentially a sensory deprivation tank & it was exactly what I needed after all the tension. I went on Groupon to see if that would help to narrow my options & talked to my one friend who I knew did float spas regularly. Turns out that Groupon had a deal for half off your first float here AND it just so happened to be the place my friend regularly went to - so it made my decision very easy! The entire experience was so wonderful and during this pandemic, everything felt so cleanly & safe, which was of upmost importance when I'm "reusing" a pod that someone else had already been in. But the spa reassured us that everything is thoroughly cleaned after each float session, and it really looked to be that way too. You are required to not just rinse off, but shampoo your hair (no conditioner) and use body wash on your body to shower before you get into the pod. Afterwards, then you can use conditioner in your hair. They also provide towels and wax earplugs (which are a bit uncomfortable, but I think that is just because I've never worn earplugs before) that were very effective. There's also a room for you to blow dry your hair after you're done with your float as well and then a nice sitting room for you just to relax afterwards until you're ready to leave. The float itself was such a cool experience. You truly do feel weightless and the pod is so huge. A foot or hand will occasionally bump into a wall, but once you have mellowed out, you won't be moving side to side as much and just manage to float in place. It's truly effortless, which is such a weird feeling. I love swimming and know how to float, but this is totally different. It's truly like laying on a cloud. I couldn't even feel my limbs because everything was weightless! Definitely such an experience that I recommend everyone try at least once. If you have chronic pains or any aches, they do recommend that you do this repetitively in order to see lasting effects. From just one float, I didn't feel too many effects. I don't think I slept all that better, and I think that perhaps I still had way too much on my mind to fully relax during the float. The float session is an hour long, but I was restless after 30-40 minutes, so spent the remainder of my float purposely bouncing around the pod lol. There's an option to have some mood lights and music on, or you can turn off the lights, and a filter will kick in within your pod, making a louder sound, to indicate your hour is up. The water is warm and comfortable, so I never felt cold. I would definitely go again, but probably not anytime soon. It was a fun experience, but not something that I would do regularly. I am interested in trying it again when my brain is less chaotic (if ever) to see if I can relax for a longer period of time!

‍Perfect way, to relax and recharge for the upcoming month. This was my first Float Therapy session, and it was everything imagined it to be. The environment upon entering was one of peace and tranquillity. The ambience was light and refreshing. They start you off with a waiver and short video about the experience. Next, you get a tour of the facility and explanation of how to operate your float tank and suite. Although they have music available or phone capability to play your own selection, I chose to enjoy my first float in complete silence and darkness. It was WONDERFUL! Afterwards you have your option to enjoy the oxygen bar and tea room. They also have journals available for you to read and write about your experiences and hear from others about theirs. I know cool right ⁉ Definitely will be adding more floats in my near future. Thank you True Rest Float Spa Farmington!

I LOVE True Rest float Spa! I found this place on Groupon and was so happy I did! I started working out 5 times/week at my new boot camp workout and my muscles were aching for a retreat! True Rest is relaxing as soon as you walk through the door! The staff is SO friendly and inviting! You are greeted and led to a comfortable waiting area where you view a brief video describing your float and what to expect. You're then taken on a tour of the facilities. There is a room where you can do yoga after your float, apply makeup, dry your hair, etc. After your float you can relax and have tea at the oxygen bar or write about your experience in the provided journals. On to the float! You are placed in a private room where you can shower and hop into the float pod. The lights are on for ambiance and the float pod is warmed to body temperature for the entire float. You can play your own soothing music or just listen to the relaxing sounds already softly playing in the float pod. Every float experience is different and more relaxing the more you frequent. The float was so wonderful, I joined the membership club on my very first visit! If you do the Groupon and join the membership, I feel you get the best deal as you basically end up getting 2 floats for the price of 1! Bring a friend, treat yo'self, whatever you do, this is a must!!

Katie and Emily are the best! I got the opportunity to pay it forward to some "first timers"!! That's what the True Rest experience does for you! It's so needed more than you will ever know! Thank you ladies for your warm customer service!! See you next month!! Marcus

The Covid safety protocols are great in this spa. I really appreciate how friendly the host was. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. It was also very clean, spotless. I felt like I was in a high end spa. I did notice my nails felt more brittle after attending this float. I think next time I might put Vaseline on my nails. I also recommend brining in your own shampoo if you have a gluten allergy as their shampoo has Wheat protein.

This place is pure bliss. I have gone twice now for an hour long float session and both times I have been impressed with how great I feel 24 hours later. First off, if it's still there snag the Groupon. It's going to save you $20 on your first visit. You can easily schedule online or call to make an appointment. No prepayment is required. Prior to going there are a few things you need to know. If you recently dyed your hair and the water is still showing color when you shower, you'll need to wait. Ladies if it's that time of the month, you'll need to wait. Do not shave any part of your body the day of. If you have any open cuts I'd advise waiting a few days. Your first time there you will be greeted, you'll complete some paperwork and then watch a quit informational video on the benefits of floating. You'll get a quick tour and shown how to operate everything. Your room is completely private and includes a shower. You must rinse your body off before floating to rid yourself of any lotions, oils, deodorants etc. The float pod is actually pretty spacious and I did not feel at all claustrophobic. You are floating on maybe a foot of hundreds of pounds of Epsom salt water at body temperature. You control whether or not you want music or lights on. I personally like music, no lights. I experimented with the lid and I also prefer it completely closed. But if you're concerned about being claustrophobic you can leave it open. Know that your mind will wonder and time does pass slow. Use this time to practice mindfulness and be aware of your body and breathing. I've yet to be able to fall asleep but that's my goal. Afterwards you shower, shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all provided. As are towels, wash cloth, and shower sandals. Bring your own comb and brush. Then you can proceed to a separate room where there are hairdryers, lotion and space to freshen up. Afterwards, you can relax in the calming room where hot tea, cold water and adult coloring books are available. You can stay as long as you want. I noticed that I sleep better afterwards and the next several days I have better energy, mood, and overall wellness.

I'm so glad that the person I bought this for chickened out! I found True Rest on Groupon. The deal let you get a float and 10 minutes at the oxygen bar. I spoke to Todd on the phone and made arrangements for my float. I had to arrive 30 minutes early, so you can watch a video that's about 8 minutes and take a tour of the facilities. When you step in, the first things you notice are all of the Himalayan salt candles. Some are just decorations others are for sale. There is also a selection of lotions, scrubs, oils and candles. They also have some cute clothing. I was greeted by Todd, who put me in the care of Carissa. I watched the introduction video and completed the waiver forms on a tablet. You can complete them ahead of time, on your phone while you're there or on the provided tablet. After all the introductory stuff, I was taken to the room where my pod was and a private shower. They provide shower sandals, conditioner, shampoo, body wash, towels and earplugs. The shower, in the private suite, was great with wonderful water pressure. The beauty products smelled wonderful! Once you're in the pod, you have the options of having spa music or your own playlist or simply silence. You can open the pod and close it to the point you desire. You float above 10 inches of water. The experience is extremely relaxing and soothing. When you exit you shower again and can go to the prep room where they provide you hair dryers and other amenities to help you get ready to leave. The only downside I found was the freshness of the towels . It seems that the ones that I received had maybe sat in the washer too long before drying , because they had that weird musty smell , under the smell of the dryer sheet . Once you are prepared, you can settle in one of the comfortable chairs in the outer room and enjoy the oxygen bar, hot tea, and cold water. There are a multitude of calming activities that you can also participate in on the table. I left feeling more relaxed than I have in a long time. With wonderful service, thanks to Todd and Carissa, and a lovely facility this is definitely a self-care option that I will be including for myself in the future.

I had purchased a groupon for a hour long float. I had recently been introduced to the idea of floating and it is amazing how interesting this experience is. From the moment I walked into "True Rest" I felt like I was going to finally get a nice relaxing moment to add to the hectic work week that I had just had. I was greeted by Mallory and she knew exactly who I was due to the appointment that I had made. She was very kind and started to explain about the paperwork that I needed to fill out, and to go relax in their lounge room. On top of it all, she asked for me to swap my shoes for flip flops, and I chuckled at the idea of them having size 14 flip flops. Sure enough, they did! I sipped on some tea while waiting, and just trying to get the amount of craziness from my work week out of my mind and tried to get ready for some relaxing. Since it was my first time there, I had to watch a video, get shown around the place, and finally get introduced to my own float room. As the float goes, you take a shower to get any initial oil / product off of your body to make sure that you don't ruin the water / salt mixture. From there, you plug in some ear plugs, and slowly get into your pod. You get yourself as comfortable as possible. It is time to completely clear your mind. They really tell you to concentrate on your breathing... that was what did it for me. Nice deep and relaxing breaths. You have a few options during your float... you can leave a LED light on in your pod if you are not a fan of darkness, along with being able to keep the lid of the pod open if you are not a fan of being sealed off / claustrophobic. Also they give you the option of music. I've done this a few times, the first time I did some white noise of water lapping onto the beach, the second time I tried to choose some of my own music... (I do not recommend) and then this time, I did no music at all. I just tried to focus on nothing and try to clear my mind. What happens right as you do that? You kinda jolt yourself awake... when you realize that the filter on the pod is turning on to give you the indication of your hour is soon being up. You then hop out of the pod, and then take another shower to rinse off all the salt water. You should bring your own toiletries / deodorant / hair product.. but they do provide some items for you as well. After the float, you're invited to go back to the oasis room to relax a little bit more, with some tea, flavored water, and some comfortable chairs... and it was a nice setting to look out the window to see a large amount of snow had started to fall from the sky. Now, this is a business, and they do try to introduce you to a membership... no high pressure, just for those to realize how much floating is a very relaxing time... it just might be worth it to you. :)
