What floaters say
“Clean place, love the pods they have, they are nice and airy, spacious and not anxiety inducing like other places.”
“I made my appointment for my first visit and was immediately greeted by Nancy who gave me a walk-through of the facility and what the steps were.”
“Friendly staff, super clean and new, relaxing environment and lounge area, effective float pods, very quiet”
“I was gifted my first hour here after suffering a very bad brain injury due to a car vs bike accident and I think floating has been the most impactful part of my recovery.”
“The water in the pod is the same as your body temperature, so you’re totally comfortable and it adds to the experience.”
“The owner gave me a very good orientation for how it works, what positions are best to float in, and how to make the most out of the experience.”
From the reviews
My experience at floatrealm was unreal. This place was very clean and relaxing. After my float session, I felt very calm and relaxed. I had no distraction, no stress, no worries, just pure relaxation. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for some "inner me" time. Great staff and great service.
Service was very nice, bathroom was very clean, and the float room was also very clean. I came here with my friend and unfortunately she couldn't enjoy the experience because she had some chaffing on her body from hiking a lot so it stung too much for her to be comfortable.
The whole experience was relaxing. I felt comfortable and excited for my float. Everything was very throughout in a non-pressure environment. I would recommend this everyone I know.
After floating at Float Realm, I had pain relief in ways I didn’t know was possible. I had a very good experience and highly recommend to others.
Your first float at Balance Float Saratoga
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.
