I had my first float. I did an infrared sauna followed by a float. And, I have to say- this... read more was next level self care. It was amazing!! The staff was amazing and welcoming. The space was beautiful and really clean. The experience was wonderful.  This was better than a massage. No kidding. I even was able to get some perspective on some things...I wasn't even looking for that- but that was a by product. After the float emerged feeling this really deep sense of calm and relaxation but still very alert. I wasn't even sure what to expect or how I would do with sensory deprivation. But, it was truly a fantastic experience!

I will be back.

  I've been going through a really hard time recently (in the midst of heartbreaking grief from losing my father) and... read more have been trying to focus on self care. 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. I wish I could afford to go more! Highly recommend.

  Was so nervous to try since I am somewhat claustrophobic. But was awesome. Loved feeling weightless. We did the couples... read more float which was perfect for us. Synergy makes floating way more appealing to someone who may be scared. There can be music, lights and an open room if you so choose.

  Great experience! Incredibly relaxing - felt like I was floating in space. Definitely going back.

  What a great experience! They did everything possible to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Looking forward to the next time!

  I floated here for the first time not long ago and had a fantastic experience. The staff is very professional... read more and the equipment is top of the line. Highly recommended!

  The first time I went to this place I had a calf sprain from cycling for 2-3 months that I... read more 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.

  We came here using our groupon.  The associates were very informative about the whole process of using a Groupon,  scheduling... read more and other first time visit questions that we had.

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.

  My brother and I are both active duty military and wanted to try one of these out since we've read... read more a lot about them. 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! For all fellow military veterans suffering from anxiety, depression, pain, PTSD, etc that are looking to find alternative ways to de-stress not involving medicines come check this place out!

  Synergy Float Center just recently opened (11/2017) and it is tucked away in Old Town North, but don't let the... read more location fool you - it is a gem! 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.

Check this place out - you won't regret it!

  We’ve done all the float places in this area and highly recommend Synergy. Great atmosphere and equipment, and the owner,... read more Chris, couldn’t be nicer. We’ll be back.

  First time here. Tried the infrared sauna, room was relaxing and had a shower. The front desk (guy, forgot his... read more name) was very helpful and nice. Plan to come back and try floating too! This was a great find!

  Synergy Float center is a new addition to Old Towne. I've been to other float spas, but this is the... read more 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.

  So after spending some time doing research on float tanks / floating. Synergy seemed to have everything that I've heard... read more 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.

The place was very beautifully and VERY clean. There was ample parking and was very easy to find. I did the float and also tried the RestStation Therapy along with the PandoraStar therapy. At first the PandoraStar lights were a little too intense for me so I turned it off for a minute. Then I realized that I can just adjust the lights down so the lights were not directly in my eyes. I woke up from the therapy feeling so refreshed and rested. Very different from just a regular nap. I will be trying the Magnetic Resonance Therapy chair next and will be posting a review. I signed up for the membership because I know I will be coming back at least once a week. I've been looking for a good floating place for awhile now and I'm so glad to have found this place.
