The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Athena Cryo Studios runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

Water & cleaning at Athena Cryo Studios

Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Athena Cryo Studios's own information: UV sterilization.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

Also under this roof

Many floaters stack their session with contrast therapy the same day. Beyond the float tank, Athena Cryo Studios also offers:

From the reviews

Amazing! The float pod was so peaceful and relaxing. For my first time I wasn’t sure what to expect. You do not feel like you’re “caged” in. You can pick what kind of calming music plays while you float, which plays essentially under the water softly. I fell asleep almost immediately once I began to float.

Deana did a facial that was amazing. The atmosphere was relaxing, the products used, the massages, the heat, all felt wonderful. It gave my face a much needed boost. I went in the float pod a while back, loved that experience too. Will definitely be back to do them again. Thanks!

★★★★★ — Mary, Feb 2026

I absolutely love using their salt flotation tank. It helps me decompress both my mind and my body. Having had some tight back and neck muscles lately floating in the tank for an hour helps completely decompress all of the tightness I am experiencing in my muscles and joints.

★★★★★ — Tj, Sep 2025

A truly must stop, I just did the contrast therapy and my wife dud the float pod. All I have to say is Deana and Anna are evil geniuses and I love it. That ice bath and then sauna made my sore body feel absolutely amazing.

Your first float at Athena Cryo Studios

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
