Read MoreI have to admit I was skeptical, but when my daughter told me about floating, and treated me to my first float, I found that it was just as relaxing and invigorating as she had told me. I have floated at several facilities at this point, and the Synergy Float Center is by far the cleanest and most pleasant atmosphere I have encountered. They have a choice of floating environments, from the "pod" experience to a larger pool, in case one is a little claustrophobic. No problem! And you can cloose to hear music or have a starry night sky projected into the environment... it's really cool. I recommend this for all ages, but it's good if you are able to get yourself in and out of the water. 🙂 Read Less

I’m so grateful for the introduction. I would take a float over a massage any day, it was such a relaxing experience. Synergy is great, the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I like there are choices for floating so everyone can feel comfortable. The only thing I would ask of the staff is to explain how to float for first timers. They had a great book that I wound up purchasing, I wished I’d had time to read it before the float as it talked about positions to float in for comfort. It’s fine, I was still able to relax and enjoy, but not for the full hour. I’ll be ready for the next float though! Read Less

The sauna is hot, but the sweating, detoxing, pore cleansing opportunities are worth it! The float experience is amazing. Super relaxing and comfortable. The first time I floated in the early evening; the second time was around lunch. After my first float, I felt so unbelievably relaxed. After the second float, I felt happy and invigorated. The staff here are very pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional. The facility is immaculate, attractive, and serene. I'll probably end up joining their monthly membership program this spring!!! I look forward to trying some of the other services offered here, and definitely will continue enjoying the sauna and float services. Read Less

My finace and I discovered Synergy about a year and a half ago and we absolutely love it. Our ideal situation is we go once a month. There has been no detail missed. It's clean, the staff are friendly. It's peaceful and deeply therapeutic. I'd love to get everybody we know on board as I believe in the benefits of floating. We had a great chat with the owner who continued to give us valuable information on the benefits of floating, drinking structured water and the operations behind the magic. We can't wait to go back next month. Read Less

My wife bought me an amazing package for my birthday and I had been looking forward to visiting Synergy for quite some time. They have plenty of on-site, private parking so no worries of hunting down spaces in Old Town.

As this was my first time there was paperwork. Luckily I was able to fill it out ahead of time and get that out of the way. Upon arrival all I had to do was get the intro and off I went!

I was given a grand tour of the place by a very knowledgeable staff member. My wife bought me 30 minutes in the infrared sauna and a 60 minute float. Synergy is extremely clean and very well maintained.

Once you come out from the back there is a calm room at the front to decompress and gather yourself. It was nice to just sit and relax a little after all of that self-care.

Do yourself a favor and have a float! Read Less

Read MoreThis place is tucked away on the end of North Pitt street in a biz complex in a basement location. Once I actually found it, walked in not knowing what to expect but pleasantly surprised at the sleek decor, very beautifully decorated. There's a reception area and a small waiting/relaxing area off to the side. I do wish that waiting/relax space was a bit more secluded or separate from the reception space but if you don't plan on lounging around after your service it's fine. I went for a 60 minute float in the open pool. The owner took me on a tour and showed me the room, explained the lighting option, help button, shower, etc. then left me to float! It took some getting used to lying there in complete silence (I didn't have music) with ambient lighting. I turned off the light for complete darkness for 3 minutes and swore I was going to get dragged to the bottom of the abyss, my mind was playing tricks on me so I turned the dim lights back on quickly LOL.

I like the fact that you can book with friends for the same time in separate pools OR in 2 person pools - there's options for different pool styles (cabin, open pool, pod) and lighting - I felt in control of my comfort the entire time. Took about 20 minutes to completely relax but once I did the time sped by and I didn't want to leave. Overhead lights came on at the end of the session and I made my way to the "beauty bar" to get some hair products and lotion then made my way back to the lounge area for tea. Chatted with the owner a bit more then left with a promise to return soon! My friend and I are already talking about dates to book for next month and possibly getting a monthly membership!

I was happy to find that there was Synergy in Alexandria because the last time I looked into it there was only a place in MD. Chris, the owner, is a nice guy and I am grateful he's put his time, money and effort into this. There is a small acclimation period when first floating. We opted for the cabin because we wanted to experience it together but in the future we are looking forward to trying single pods. The lounge afterwards is a great touch. I highly recommend trying this out. Your body and mind will thank you. 3/16/2019 Read Less

Read MoreSo after spending some time doing research on float tanks / floating. Synergy seemed to have everything that I've heard was needed for a successful float, and from the experience i had, it went above and beyond creating the perfect atmosphere. My wife got me my first float for my birthday and I saved it for a big day.

From the moment walk in, the environment is calming, and efficient. At the front desk it was a quick check in followed by a walk around tour of the facility and explaination of the setup of the room.

I had elected to go with the pod. The pod sits in the middle of a room, with a shower, towels, a robe and a bench.

The float itself was pretty interesting, close to what I was expecting and gave me an opportunity to clear my mind. I went full on lightless, no neck pillow. My body responded pretty well, at the very end I though I felt the pod begin to heat, maybe to keep the water warm? And then I had a slight wave of nausea. I got out with about 3 minutes left in my hour long float. Showered, got dressed and headed out.

There is a recompression room that has tea, and a log book. Chris the owner came out to check on me and offered some info on the different float options, and then got some pricing options on additional floats.

Overall it was a great float experience and couldn't ask for much more. Read Less

We weren't sure what to expect since we had never done one of these before. The whole area was really nicely decorated, clean, and had a nice welcoming feel to it. The staff was friendly and the owner was very nice and helpful. He is a veteran as well and his business is VERY pro-military which is always great. The float session was very relaxing, and I look forward to trying another session sometime soon. It took a few minutes for me to be able to fully relax, but once I did it was nice. I felt refreshed afterwards!

I've done the closed tranquility pod 3 times and it is amazing. I like it dark with the lid closed. I have them put on relaxing music and I float. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I focus on my breathing, sometimes I give myself a pep talk -- but I always leave feeling like a weight has been lifted. It also helps my sleep something I've been really struggling with. The facility is beautiful and clean, the people who work there are nice, and I like the peace I feel after an hour float.

Read MoreSynergy Float center is a new addition to Old Towne. I've been to other float spas, but this is the first that impressed me from start to finish. Everything from the owner, staff, the amenities, layout to even the decor was efficient and thoughtful.

The process: My husband made a last minute reservation for a float session. Jawad was very helpful and polite. He answered all our questions and explained the different options. I elected for a float and hubby went for the magnetic resonance therapy. First star earned.

The location: The center is nested the north part of Old Towne Alexandria. Parking is clearly marked and free. Big plus. The entrance is down a set of stairs, right across from parking spaces. Second star earned.

The center: Chris, the owner greeted us. He was warm and inviting. Given this being our first time, we asked for a tour. Chris was thorough in explaining each of the different services and our schedule sessions. The establishment was clean, well organized and relaxing. Third star earned.

The experience: I have floated in pods before, this was a first time in a cabin sized one. The room contained a shower with complimentary soap, shampoo and conditioner. Center also provided a towel, robe, a small basket with ear plugs, petroleum jelly, and even a little bottle to help with clogged ears. Inside the floating cabin was a small towel and a water bottle in the case you get water in your eyes. Fourth star earned.

The finale: When I finished with the session, I made my way to a little station to quickly blow dry my hair and then to the relaxation room. While watching the waterfall installation, I enjoyed a delicious cup of loose leaf tea, and wrote a little note in the guest book. Quick note, there are little tea bags, small scoops, honey and stevia for the tea. Fifth star earned.

Additional notes: Synergy is a veteran owned business and is involved with Pathways for Veterans by providing an environment for veterans to work through their mental and physical wounds. Read Less

There is a nice waiting room where you can have water or prepare a nice cup of loose leaf tea of your choosing.

We came for a float session. The associate was very thorough on covering the ins and outs of the whole experience. He pointed out the bottle of fresh water and its location just in case we get salt water on or eyes and their safety buttons and protocols just in case. One hour goes by surprisingly fast when you're relaxing. Especially when the light turns off when you stop moving aka fall asleep.

The whole experience was a novelty. If you have cuts or any other breaks on the skin it would be best to skip this until you're healed. No visits during periods for the ladies. Read Less

Read MoreThe first time I went to this place I had a calf sprain from cycling for 2-3 months that I couldn't shake. Nothing serious, but definitely there and annoying. After my first float, the next day the pain was gone, and it hasn't been back. So then I sprained my MCL snow skiing, and after I got back in town, I went once and I thought it did some good. So I went another time about 7 days later, and it seemed to pretty much knock out most of the pain. I've been impressed. Also, the first time after I went I had such a great night's sleep, which is kinda rare for me, but that may have been a coincidence. I think some professional athletes are into full-body Epsom soaks to help recover. I also weight lift, and I think it's supposed to flush out some of the lactic acid, so I could really use that every once in a while.

It's a lovely place. Clean, peaceful; there is one of those cool wall waterfalls near the rest lounge where you can go for a free cup of organic tea after your soak. It has salt lamps, too, I think.

Also, they provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, q-tips, all kinds of niceties that you may need.

So you take a shower and get in this pod that has, I think, 900 pounds of Epsom salt. It is big enough and then some. You can make it completely dark, or turn on the starry night lights, or the side lights. It feels nicely cocoon-like and surreal. I have managed to dose a few times, but then again, I'm not a great sleeper. Just like going in the ocean, if you get the water in your eyes or nose, it will sting. There is a cool water bottle and a washcloth to deal, but it's not fun. I manage to keep everything out of my nose and eyes most times.

There's also a 2-person soak place that I think would be fun to go to with a significant other or good friend. Nudity required! You're in a tub, after all. I've done the infrared sauna, and that's nice, too. There's a nice monthly membership which I've used for discounts. Read Less

There are three float tanks, two infrared saunas, magnetic resonance therapy, and more! Chris, the owner (who is also a veteran), is a super nice guy and eager to share floatation therapy with the area. The space was very well thought out. He has free wifi while you wait, a relaxation waiting room with complimentary tea, and a beauty bar to dry your hair/do your makeup once you're done with your float. There are a lot of little details that, as a fellow floater, he's thought about and added to make your float as enjoyable as possible. Also, they offer memberships which discount your price.
