Then, I was showed around and brought to the room where I would float. When I arrived at the studio, an employee greeted me and asked that I fill out a waiver that addressed different safety concerns.

In small, faint lettering hidden in the water below the tree, messages read, “You need to float,” and “Time to float.” The Float Spot’s website can be found at Before Maddie MoatsĪ screenshot of possible subliminal messaging is found on The Float Spot’s website. In the water of a tranquil picture on a page of their website, hidden messages read “You need to float” and “Time to float.” This freaked me out slightly, but I still wanted to try it. The website was easy to navigate, however, I did notice what I think were intended to be subliminal messages on one page. I entered my card information when I booked to hold my appointment, but I wasn’t charged until after my float. I booked my appointment online and the process was simple. Other pricing packages can be found on their website. They also have a “Happy 1/2 Hour Float,” which is 30 minutes for $30 if you go Tuesday – Thursday between 12 p.m. A 30-minute float costs $49, an hour costs $65, and two hours costs $110. This experience comes in different packages at different prices. People that float preach the benefits, but The Float Spot wants its customers to go into it without any expectations or preconceptions to ensure that they have an authentic experience. “But in the tank there is 1,100 pounds of magnesium, so while you are laying there your body absorbs it really well, and that’s why you feel so refreshed.” “We are all lacking magnesium,” Krenowicz said.

When I spoke with employee Jackie Krenowicz, she said that the most important benefit to sensory deprivation tanks is the magnesium in the salt, which helps with muscle relaxation and flexibility, as well as mental relaxation. Their website claims that floating helps with stress, depression, recovery from exercise, chronic pain, relaxation during pregnancy, jet lag, meditation, better sleep or just to clear one’s mind. The sensory deprivation tanks, which is what I tried, are pods filled with warm water super-saturated with Epsom salt that causes your body to float and relax. Located off Legacy Drive in Frisco, and owned by Ray Thoma, The Float Spot offers sensory deprivation tank sessions and aqua-massages. Reading Time: 6 minutes About The Float Spot
