I tried this out for the first time today. I'm glad I experienced it, but I don't know if I would return as a repeat customer. The whole set up was nice in the individual rooms with your shower and amenities. The music and lighting and ambience of the actual float was as expected! The lounge area with oxygen bar was a little underwhelming, and there are only two massage chairs. These two features were definitely not the highlight of the experience. The staff team, however, was really great. They were so helpful, friendly, and welcoming. While I don't think this is something that I need to repeat, I'm glad I gave it a "go"! read more

True REST Float Spa - The place in the strip mall. - Float Spa Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I truly loved the experience. It is a beautiful facility,very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and eager to aid in your visit. My one suggestion is to offer treatments for less than an hour. Both my husband and I felt an hour was a bit long . I started to be antsy at about a half hour. I would have preferred a little warmer, however, the water is kept at body temperature. Also, I didn't receive instructions on whether or not to close the unit while in the water, so I left it opened I guess this whole experience was nice, but not for me. read more

Not all float spas are created equal. I learned such a fact when I cheated on this float spa with another closer to where I live, and realized the cleanliness, attention of the staff, and float experience here at True REST South Hills is a notch above the rest. First of all, the staff greets me by name here even as a total stranger, and they are genuinely interested in ensuring your highest comfort and experience. The float rooms and tanks have always been impeccably clean. Apparently, this is one of the few spas that still has the type of pod doors that open from the bottom (as opposed to others that are split in the middle and open from left to right). I learned that the type of pod doors at the South Hills location are better for holding in heat. I have never been too cold like at other True REST locations. Thank for being awesome, South Hills...I promise to never be unfaithful to you again! read more

True REST Float Spa - Float Spa Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I started going to the True REST Float Spa about two months ago after having some back muscle strain. This high end spa specializes in epsom salt baths in a sensory deprivation tank. Every time I float I get a different meditation experience. Sometime I want quiet in the dark, sometimes I want light jazz music in the blue light... it's my spa time. The spa is very clean, employees always nice and it's easy to use text to schedule my appointments. Love it!!! read more

Fantastic. Relaxing. Peaceful and worth it for peace. Highly recommended. Stressed? Come and get blessed.

I had been looking forward to my appointment here since I set it up. A friend of mine had recently visited and made me aware of relaxed she was afterwards. Because of COVID they were not doing appointments for a while, but recently they starting taking appointments and I made sure to set mine up for my birthday. This location is in Scott Town Center which means plenty of parking. If you happen to be partaking for the first time, it is suggested that you show up an hour early to basically go through a walk through of your treatment. When you do show up the first thing you do is fill out paperwork, some of which is a waiver to be in the facility. You then go into a small seating area with a television. You watch a short film, maybe ten minutes max, which fills you in on how to prepare for your treatment and how to go about your treatment. Then you are escorted back to your pod room and let to start your treatment. First thing you do is place your earplugs. You then shower with shampoo and body wash to remove any type of oil or perfumes you may have on your body. Also available in the room is a makeup removal cloth and some petroleum jelly to cover up any open scratch you may have on your body. Once you shower you have the choice to enter the pod nude or with a bathing suit on, whichever you prefer. Once you enter the pod you also have a choice as to whether lay in the water with the pod open, pod cracked, or pod completely closed. Choose your position to lay in the water (which is addressed in the video, each different position focuses on where you might be feeling pain or stress), you will hear relaxing music for the first ten minutes you are in the water. After ten minutes you will lay in silence, darkness, and a stress free environment for 45 minutes. The last five minutes of your float you will here the music come back on to prepare you for your exit. At that point you will want to stretch and make yourself aware of your surroundings. Upon exiting you will shower once again, this time only with conditioner and to get the excess salt off your body. Redress and exit your pod room. Now since the rundown is done let me tell you how relaxing it was. The prep work is easy. Getting into the pod was easy as well. Once you close the pod door you are in semi-darkness. The lights in the room stay on for a bit and you can see them a bit through the crack in the pod. Once the lights do go out the pod becomes pitch black. Some people say that you can freak out in there, but I took it as prep work before making my way to bed. Some people will fall asleep in here, I did not because I was afraid that I would attempt to roll over and that would not be good in a pool of water. The salt level in the pod makes easy work for floating, no need to worry about that. You literally will just float, possibly bump into the wall a time or two, but you are in water. There is a small ring that you can use if you feel that you need to for your head. If you happen to get some of that water on your face there is a spray bottle inside that will allow you to spray the saltiness off your face. Once my float was over I exited and did my thing to get ready again. Take your towels with you and place them in one of the hampers in the hallway. Afterwards you can proceed to the bathroom area, here you will find simple toiletries like deodorant, hair gel/spray, and perfume/cologne. Also available is a hair dryer if you wish to style your hair. After that you can decompress some more if you wish. You have access to an oxygen bar, I did not partake. You are also offered tea or water. The tea flavor changes. You are also debriefed in a way. This was honestly one of the best thing I have done in a long time. My goal was to get some good rest out of it. That night I slept like a baby. read more

I got a free pass to go here from my gym and ended up getting a membership. I've been twice so far and I really love the experience. It's bougie so I like it . Everything is so luxurious and makes you think you're in a very fancy spa. You get to use the oxygen bar for 15 minutes after your float, and they offer you tea or water before and after. It is so relaxing to just float and do nothing! I love how they have the prep area and provide things like a hair dryer, straightener, lotion, and cotton swabs for their customers. Mark who works there is just amazing and always makes me feel welcomed. So far the floats have relaxed me, and I am looking forward to seeing how they can positively impact my health once I start doing it more. read more

This place is super relaxing and immaculately clean. I go regularly because I get so much relief from muscle and joint pain plus it's beneficial for my mental health.

Needing a place to relax and escape, even for just a bit? Try True REST. This is a national chain of float spas that is independently franchised. When I walked in, I was welcomed by the tranquil and clean place. It felt like an upscale spa! I was invited to fill out some forms on their iPad and then promptly given a tour of the place. Each float room has a rain shower-head to wash up before and after the float. Afterwards, I entered my pod and floated for about an hour. I accidentally tasted the water, it does not taste like salt- so avoid if you're curious!! The pods were futuristic looking, and had buttons inside to change to your lighting preference. It felt like nothing else in the world existed for a bit when I was inside, and I was nervous about when my time was up. Fear not! There is lovely music that plays for the first and last 5 minutes to remind you. After my float, I gathered myself together in the prep room where there is everything from hair gel, hair dryers, ties and Q-tips. Afterwards, I was invited to relax and try their oxygen bar while sipping a cup of their daily tea.. cherry!! I wasn't expecting such wonderful service. Will I be back, yes!!!!! read more

Great way to relax and absorb magnesium into the body. It's interesting how slippery the water feels with that much magnesium in it.

Very relaxing and nice staff !! First timers and we were greeted with smiles and everything was explained to us!

This was a relaxing and wonderful experience. I have had Fibromyalgia since 1986 and would definitely recommend this to anyone with chronic pain. This would also benefit anyone who needs an escape from stress and needs to relax. The spa is spotless, the staff is welcoming and helpful. The amenities are wonderful as well. read more

This was fun and very relaxing. Beautiful private room. Next time I go, I will bring my own shampoo and conditioner.

Been wanting to use a Sensory Deprivation tank for a very long time and finally went to my first one this afternoon. We went around 11, our appointment was at 11:30. They took us on a short tour that includes a video. You shower before you get in but while you're in you are in a complete relaxation. Now being my first time there were times that I didn't feel as relaxed as I could've been but for the most part it was a well needed relaxation. Definitely recommend and will be back sometime soon! read more

My husband and I visited this location today and absolutely loved it! The entire experience was fantastic. Make sure you arrive 30 minutes early for your first float! You watch a video, fill out paperwork and then go back to your beautifully appointed float room. The shower in the float room was so fantastic and the float itself was incredible. The woman who helped us took her time to explain everything and gave us a tour. We decided to get a membership and cannot wait to return! read more

I was looking for a non-drug alternative to my generalized anxiety disorder. I had had a stressful week of work. It was so bad I was on the verge of tears when I left work on Friday. My friend had just recently tried True Rest and highly recommended it. I figured I had nothing to lose since she was treating me to a float. I am a skeptic and I figured I would not be able to shut off the random onset of thought and images that pop up in my head. I am so glad I was wrong!! After about 10 minutes of floating my mind went blank. I stared into darkness and I loved it. No sights, so sounds. Amazing experience. I slept 10 hours that night. I just booked another session and I will be buying a membership. read more

This place is awesome! Awesome experience! Highly recommend checking it out. The staff was great. The place is clean and professional.

Great space. The experience is truly unique and so happy we have something of its kind in the South Hills. I wish this were around when I was pregnant! The staff and the space is very accommodating to allow you to get ready for the rest of your day without skipping a beat-- blow dryers, straighteners, etc are all there so you don't have to stress about taking an hour for yourself that will cause a domino effect to the rest of your day. Highly recommend. read more

I've floated before at a couple different places and I have never had a bad float. I found the staff at True REST knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They have a larger Pod type float tank that has more room than an average float tank and is a little more user friendly. They also have an oxygen bar and some light refreshments. read more
