Just Float

Just Float’s choices in décor and color is very pleasant. It felt airy, serene and bright. It was one of the deciding factors in choosing this establishment. The staff is very nice, warm and helpful. The floatation rooms are quite large which was a relief. While I’m not claustrophobic, I was concerned that I would feel closed in, so I was very happy about the size. There is an open room one just in case you are claustrophobic. It was incredibly relaxing. I usually take Epsom salt baths at home but the near saturation level in these tanks left my skin supple and glowing. Not only that but I actually fit unlike my tub at home lol. The water felt rich and incredibly luxurious. The tank initially fogged my glasses and I was concerned it was going to be stuffy inside but it was actually incredibly comfortable and soothing. The water was also great at soothing my achy body.
The shower is really nice. It has the option of using the rain type or removable shower head. The soap, shampoo and post float conditioner are all fragrance free. They are a very nice quality my skin and hair are so soft!
They also have amazing attention to detail. They have earplugs, q-​tips, ear drops, make-​up removing towelettes, hair ties, bottled water and complimentary Tazo tea.
I was very pleased with the experience. I will be returning.

One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I have panic disorder. It runs in my family, and it’s triggered a lot by the news. Recent news events were triggering me like crazy, and I was starting to get to the point where I was shutting down. I had tried therapy, acupuncture, massage, distraction, you name it, and nothing seemed to work. One day, I woke up dizzy and my back was locked up. I went to work like that, and it didn’t subside for the whole morning. I finally, in desperation, made an appointment for Just Float, because I didn’t know what else to do.
I was nervous, because I thought it might feel claustrophobic. It didn’t. The room was a decent size, and once my eyes were closed and I was floating, it was irrelevant, anyway. I have never been good at meditation, but I took the advice of the intro video and just counted to 100 over and over and over again. I finally fell asleep– I think. I’m not sure. It was hard to tell. But in any case, I was drifting in and out of a dream the whole time. I lost track of time completely. I finally «came to» probably about 10 minutes before the end of my float and started to feel a little antsy (I’m used to «doing» and not just «being»), but I made myself keep going till the session was over. I didn’t expect much. When I stood up, though, the dizziness was 95% gone, and my back was no longer locked up. I was stunned.
What stunned me even more was how good my mood was the rest of the week, how much clearer I was able to think, and how much better my general energy was. I sat and wrote a research paper for 2 hours without being distracted by anything– I wasn’t able to do that the whole time I was in my master’s degree program. I started sketching again, which I haven’t felt inspired to do since I was in college.
And here’s the best part– I have been going once a week for the last two months, and I have not had one panic attack.
I cannot say enough about my experience with Just Float. Everyone is so nice. The facility is very clean and well-​kept. The owners clearly have a massive passion for floating. And I cannot even put a price tag on the difference it’s made in my life. I recommend it to everyone now, and the people I’ve sent have absolutely loved it.
Thank you, Just Float. You have honestly changed my life.

It was so calming. The staff and facility are really nice. They have a 50% off your first float so it’s definitely worth trying if you’re on the fence.

In 5 words: As good as it gets!
In 4 words: I’m so mindful now!
In 3 words: A must try!
In 2 words: I’m addicted.
In a word: FLOAT!
I was invited to try floating once before, and when I got to the center and was directed to climb into the space-​coffin in front of me, I backed out. I probably should have tried it, because floating has now (much later) changed my life, my outlook, and my health. Then again, I’m pretty sure there’s no floating like floating at Just Float.
Walking in, the center feels like a high end spa. Mike, one of the owners, walked me back to a private room with a shower and dressing area, informing me of the benefits of floating and suggestions for how to maximize the experience. Everyone I encountered at Just Float was just as amazingly friendly, intelligent and welcoming people as Mike — which speaks to some terrific hiring.
The entire space was super clean and filled with high quality essentials: robe, towels, soaps and shampoo, plus some floating options like ear plugs, special hair conditioner and ear-​water remover. However, it was the tank itself that has me doing this every week now.
Opening the tank ‘room’ was NOTHING AT ALL like climbing into the space-​coffin pod, soothing my claustrophobic impulses immediately. The little ‘room’ is about 8 feet tall, 8 feet long and 6 feet wide (I’m guessing, but pretty close to that). It’s filled with about a foot of water and (according to Mike) something like 1300 pounds of epsom salt (just like Grandma soaked her feet in).
The water isn’t warm or cold — it’s exactly the same temperature as skin. The air in the tanks is also exactly the same temperature. As I lay down, I immediately buoyed right up, so my face and top of my body stayed above water. I started the float by pushing a button that plays some soothing music and dims out the lights. Almost immediately, having everything the same temperature made me lose sense of where my skin ended and where the water or air began. It’s an infinite feeling that is supposed to help you lose sense of yourself, and boy did it. Before long, I had the sensation that parts of my body were floating in the air, then that I’d turned vertical, and then no sense of myself at all.
I’m not very good at meditating, but I jumped in with some basics I was given on the way back to the room. Counting down, focusing on breathing, concentrating — you know the drill. In the 60 minutes I floated, I went through about 5 or 6 ‘waves’ of lucid dreams, directed thought, and awesome mini-​hallucinations. At one point, I could have sworn I heard music and at another, it was like I was floating in space, surrounded by stars. Totally unreal.
Afterwards, it was like getting the best sleep ever and waking up in the perfect way. I felt super clear, strong and completely fresh. It was like my senses were on overload — everything smelled better, was more colorful and sounded clearer. Yep, I was hooked for good. I can’t imagine NOT floating now, and I really can’t imagine floating anywhere BUT Just Float.
Go.

I am so happy I discovered Just Float in Pasadena. I love how I feel the moment I walk in, completely at peace and ultimately relaxed and calm. And that’s before I even float! Just Float is clean, welcoming and the rooms, showers, etc feel luxurious and spa-​like. The clarity and relaxation I feel post float is invaluable. Also, Jim and the staff at Just Float are so friendly and accommodating, which is great since my first time I was a little apprehensive. They made me feel right at ease! I totally recommend floating — whether it’s your first time ever or your first time at Just Float, it is such a special, unique experience. Every time I go!

All I can say is WOW! I heard about Steph Curry floating, I’ve read the positive effects it has on your mind and I knew I had to try it. There are a few other places in the LA/​OC area, but there is nothing like this.
Private rooms, «spa-​like» amenities with a lounge, floating essentials for before and after, and a helpful, wonderful staff. Not only that, but the owner, Jim, explained the engineering and design behind the tanks and the software used to automate the music and wake you from this incredible meditative slumber-​most new innovations to their industry.
I’ve also heard about the floating pods, but why settle for nothing less than the best?! I’ll definitely be back with all my friends.

Incredible! First time today.
Without sounding too much like a hippy, this was a serious trip. I left so much baggage I didn’t realize I was carrying, in that tank. Wow! This was like the best massage ever, but for your mind! Figured I’d fall asleep in there, but with all the crap being purged from my brain, sleep was the LAST thing that could’ve happened. Came out super energized. When they say it’s like defragmenting your hard drive, they are exactly right.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
Will definitely be back.

I would pretty much echo what the other reviewers said. What I didn’t expect is I needed to stay in the chill lounge for about 10 min to let things sorta wear off. For me it was like months of relaxing mediation shoved into 1 hour.

My first float was amazing. I felt taken care of, safe and pampered by the environment. The float tanks are huge and super clean. I’ve recommended them to all my friends!

This place and the experience it offers is just extraordinary. I’ve floated many, many times here and at other facilities, and this float center stands alone. The atmosphere, the staff, the mood, the vibe… everything is perfection. It’s like stepping out of loud, crowded, stifling casino and into an Aveda spa: instantly warm, soothing and friendly. The attention to detail is impeccable; beautiful furnishings and décor, hot teas, cozy chairs, all set in the most mellow, chill, inviting public place I have ever been to.
The float rooms are gorgeous and appointed with everything you need to make you relaxed and comfortable. They have robes and ear plugs and a WONDERFUL shower.
You really have to go to this place to understand how far from the insane, over stimulating normal world you can be outside of your own home.
There’s a bunch of reviews here, and nearly all are spot on but I just can’t begin to imagine what a couple people are talking about in their negative reviews here. I can only imagine some truly miserable people who just don’t get it. Some guy was complaining about the staff being «bros». If super-​chill, gracious, warm employees who seem genuinely interested in providing an amazing experience with no pretention, then I guess that constitutes a «bro». So be it.
Ridiculous.
Cheers to the folks at Just Float. Please don’t change a thing.

My experience at Just Float wasn’t great. My fiancé had heard about the concept through a couple of friends who all enjoyed their «floats» so we decided to give it a shot.
The facility itself is new and pretty well designed. The staff is nice and informative but they talk to you a bit like you’re a camper at a youth retreat. I understand that this is a new concept and they want to impart wisdom on how to fully embrace your first float but they spoke to us like we were idiots (we might be).
After a 10 minute intro on how their facility is the biggest in the world, how people draw their feelings in a book, how to use a shower and how to use ear plugs, I was annoyed and was ready to float.
The floating part was ok. I was able to calm the water, stay in the middle of the bath and zonk out for 30 minutes but I don’t think I’d pay to come back. When I exited the «float tank» to wash off and get going, I noticed that they either groom dogs or had missed a big ‘ol chunk of some woman’s hair on my shower door which gives me even less confidence about how thoroughly they are cleaning after each «float».
–the post float room is small and we weren’t able to sit because all seats were taken –1 star
–my room had ladies hair on the shower –1 star
–the manager who gave us our walk through spoke down to us –1 star
–the float tank was a new experience and worth the visit + 1 star
–my fiancé had a clean room and enjoyed the experience +1 star

My experience: I just floated for the first time today and I really enjoyed it. Never have I experienced such a lack of stimulation to my senses. I am someone who has a hard time calming my mind and I multi-​task a lot; but for the first time I think I was able to clear my mind without being asleep! I also really enjoyed the physical experience of effortlessly floating in the water. I felt very natural, free, and relaxed. I would highly recommend giving floating a try.
Logistics: Making an appointment was easy as you can schedule it yourself online. The facility is very modern, warm, and relaxing and the staff is extremely friendly. The floating rooms are well equipped with everything you’ll need such as a shower, towel, robe, ear plugs, Qtips, make-​up remover, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. just bring a change of clothes for after! The lounge area is a great place to kick back after your float. They have water, tea, adult coloring books, and books about floating, mindfulness, flow, etc. They really provide an experience from the moment you walk in the door. I will definitely be floating again and hope to make this a habit!

First time floater– great experience! The staff is extremely welcoming. Got to have a nice chat with the owner and debrief my float. Showers were nice and warm for before and after. The hour long float went by faster than expected due to being completely relaxed. Will definitely be back again soon!!! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience. It was difficult the first 5 minutes, but I just had to tell myself that I was going to do it. Definitely learned that it’s ok to not be in control all the time, and that its ok to let go. Very clean facility, can’t wait to go back again! Something everyone should experience. It’s a true lesson of being able to be by yourself and feel happy and content.

Omg I’m soooooo happy they finally opened! I’d been waiting forever! I’m in love with this place. The facility is so clean and super modern with plenty of free parking. The lobby area is just so pretty with circular couches. I want my living room to look like that. If it’s your first float you are asked to watch a video which explains what to do before, during and after ur float and then you’re also given a tour. They give you silicone earplugs that you put in before you shower and then you’re to scrub all the oils from ur body and shampoo ur hair (no conditioner!) Afterwards you shower again to get all the salt off your body. The float itself was beyond anything I expected! There’s so much salt that you will have no problem floating. You find the position you’re most comfy in and then you just… float. Btw ur completely naked and it’s totally private in there. The whole suite is pretty much a wet room. The tank is quite large and big enough to stand in (tho I’m short so maybe not so for a tall person). The door to the tank can be left open or closed. You press the button once ur situated and the music and lights will eventually fade out and the tank becomes pitch black. It’s a trip! You can, of course opt to leave the lights n music on but the whole purpose of this is sensory deprivation. I was super relaxed afterwards and actually pretty tired. Afterwards you can get ready in their grooming room that has makeup mirrors, blow dryers and some grooming products (I had my own so I didn’t look too closely at what they provided) and then head over to their post float lounge and have water, tea and look thru their books. There’s also a journal should u want to read some testimonials or write ur own in it.
My tips to get the most outta this experience:
–bring shower shoes
–bring your own toiletries, I did, just cuz I like my own stuff. They have tissues n q tips along with petroleum jelly for cuts n scrapes (before u float so the salt won’t sting), hair ties, and ear drops to dry out the salt if it got in ur ears
–bring ur own shampoo, conditioner and body wash (use theirs before you float, but use ur own after, tho I used theirs both times and it was really good!)
–if you must shave do so at least a few days prior
–don’t put on lotion the morning of or the night before
–do NOT go in with cuts or scapes, it will sting!!!
–if ur a lady don’t go in on ur lady time, that’s just gross and unsanitary
–make sure to leave ur contacts out. If water gets in ur eyes that can be painful.
–dry ur face and hairline before u float. It’ll prevent the salt water from creeping onto ur face and possibly ur eyes. There is a spray bottle and wash cloth should that happen tho.
Again I was incredibly relaxed and my muscles which are super tight from working out were given a much needed break. My only qualm is that the salt fried my hair. I had to deep condition and then deep condition again. I have virgin hair and that’s what happened so I can only imagine what it would do to someone with chemically treated hair. Ugh. This reason alone makes me question how often I could take advantage of this otherwise seemingly very beneficial activity. You can’t put in a leave-​in conditioner soooo maybe a swim cap? I dunno. The other thing was despite my best efforts I couldn’t get a water tight seal with the earplugs (and this could just be my ineptitude) so the water did seep into my ears. Given that there’s so much salt I definitely feel it in my ears. It’s also a bit pricey (60 per float, but cheaper if you buy a pkg and u can share the pkg with one other person)
So there you have it. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and it may be something I do when I just really need to slow down and float away. Hair be damned!

I had been curious about this place since a friend of mine told me about floating and that a new place in Pasadena was opening up. I needed a mental health day off from work and this seemed like the perfect thing to try to help me relax after a couple of really taxing weeks. It just so happened to be their opening day, so I made an appointment for 11am. This would be my first ever float, and while that means I cannot really rate this experience against other float facilities, I can rate it based on what I experienced as well as how I felt.
The facilities were great with a very serene spa experience. Everything felt well thought out and special. The attention to detail was obvious, but most important was that the float chambers felt like a real escape. I would literally float for ten minutes without bumping into anything. It made the experience that much better to feel like I was in another dimension of space and time, alone.

Zen, serene, meditation, mindfulness, restful, rejuvenating, these words are what one would think to stereotypically use to describe this experience. I’m going to say NO and stray very far from all those descriptions.
My qualms:
*I was cold! I’m anemic and the temperature of the room and water were not warm enough for me to get comfortable. I had to jump out and warm myself with a hot shower in order to get comfortable.
*I have allergies which manifests itself in sinus pressure headaches. The water pressure on my head along with my sinus pressure was killer.
The good stuff:
*Floating naked in the dark on epsom salt for an hour is a pretty freaking awesome experience even if you panic and can’t «calm your mind.» The sensation is unique. Descriptive words: strange, sensual, relaxing, challenging and intriguing.
*I sat up many times and one of those times it was due to an overwhelming feeling of claustrophobia. I surprised myself because I didn’t think I’d panic. It was kinda cool to feel freaked out and understand that I’m not as tough as I think I am. I’m ok with experiencing a little panic but I want to practice calming it.
*It was actually kind of fun trying to find a comfortable position-​which for me consisted of my hands behind my head because I couldn’t get my neck or jaw to completely relax and appreciated the extra support.
*My hair floating every which way felt amazing.
Overall, it was still a rejuvenating experience even if it wasn’t the typical spa like outcome. I learned a lot about myself in that dark room. I learned that I don’t relax easily and my mind doesn’t quiet easily, which I’m guessing is the case with a lot of people.
I think I was already aware that I would struggle because I easily freak out while rock climbing. Now that I’m aware of this I can take steps to improve upon it.
I aspire to be one of those people who have calm and collected minds. It’s nice to know where I currently stand. I’ve got a lot of work to do. More sessions must be booked and practice, practice, practice with all the other life stuff too.

Stressed out? Don’t have enough hours in your day to just RELAX? Then Just Float is exactly what the doctor ordered! I was drawn to the waters by the appealing $ 30 offer for your first float, and became hooked! This place is so surreal.
We often get trapped in the monotony of work and personal lives to ever tap into our deep consciousness. I am guilty of feeling like a robot sometimes in need of some release. I feel like what I experienced at Just Float made me feel like I was a part of the universe, and not the mechanics of constructed reality.
Just Float is impeccably clean. The upkeep is fabulous, and amenities are ample! When I walked in I was amazed by the simple, yet beautiful inviting décor. We were greeted by the owner who was very nice, and easy to talk to. He shared his experiences and vision with us, which I thought to be very inspiring.
Before your first float, you are instructed to watch a short video of the process, and sign a waiver. I was then given a tour of the facilities, including the grooming room and post-​float waiting room where you can write about your experiences and enjoy a cup of soothing tea on a comfortable couch.
My Experience
The float room is just fabulous! It includes a stylish bench to lounge, toiletries, a personal shower and a robe. I started off by showering off any products I might have in my hair and on my body before stepping into the healing waters. Once you open the chamber into the float room, you hear the music and the pool is illuminated. Five minutes into your float the lights shut off and the music fades. If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably freak out at the complete darkness, but that’s okay because there is a button on your left hand side that turns the lights back on (which I did). During my next float I hope to be brave enough to take on the darkness. The complete darkness gave me the wildest visions and experiences of the universe, and since I had not experienced such a feeling, I had to take a step back. Next time I want to experience the almost hallucinogenic trip and keep the lights off. So although I floated with the lights on, I was still able to experience an out of body experience of floating through space and time. Although most people feel like they were only in there for a second, for me it felt like a relaxing eternity. I felt like I was just in relaxation mode for days, and it is just what I needed after a busy work week! After my float, I quickly showered and put on the robe to muse about my interesting experience before heading to the grooming room to fix myself up.
I got dressed and headed to the lounge where I wrote about my experience and had a nice cup of Tazo mint tea.
I would partake in floating more often if it was in my budget, but you really do get what you pay for here. A single float is $ 60, but they have great deals on monthly packages. It’s a luxury that is definitely worth the releasing experience.
Also, there is a lot of parking beside the building! If anything, try out the $ 30 introductory offer and get hooked like me!

Never floated in heavy salt water before. It’s 7,600 miles to the Dead Sea and doing IG yoga travel poses ain’t my thing. I spied my friends trying this place out a few times and I wanted to give it a try. TFTI! 50% off the first float? I booked a weekend visit right away.
Just Float covered every bit of the customer experience so well. I was awestruck through my visit. A top notch operation!
Intro videos on personal tablets.
Clean, modern, and quiet.
Personal shower that leads into the float itself.
3 restrooms to use (women, men, uni)
Shower head fixture and a low mounted wand.
Shampoo /​Body Soap /​Conditioner /​Robe provided
Ear plugs
Post-​float lounge with complimentary Tazo tea packets.
1 bottled water in the room — you will need to hydrate!
For the actual float itself, I’m chalking it up to first timer awkwardness and personal stresses. It’s dark. It’s quiet. My mind was too active. So it took a while to settle down. I did lose the sense of time. In the end, I did feel at more peace and calm.
Don’t worry, even if things get heavy — just get your float on!

Honestly, floating probably isn’t for me :/​. Although I didn’t feel like I had that hard of a time relaxing, I also didn’t feel that I had that «enlightening» of a feeling as others have raved about. That being said, this place is amazing for what it is, and it seems like it’s a reasonable price point, appointments are not difficult to make, and the staff is extremely accommodating.
When I wanted to try a sensory-​deprivation pod/​clinic I did my research, and it really seems like this place has the best facility and is the nicest out of all of the ones in the Los Angeles Area. It truly may be one of the finest in this country from what I heard from fellow floaters!
The rooms are brand new, clean, and you can actually watch the water drain out/​change once your float is done, so you know it is totally clean. There is a nice ambiance to the entire clinic and they have a lounge/​chill area for you to unwind after your float.
I can’t say that I’ll be back again, but I think that’s purely because of my own feeling about floating. I loved this place!
