Anyone try?

During your float, the outside world is gone and amazing things happen. It turns out that when you’re not fighting gravity or receiving sensory input, your body has a lot of extra resources at its disposal. Your mind is free to navigate without distraction, your brain pumps out dopamine and endorphins, and the parasympathetic nervous system gets to work helping you rest, de-stress and heal. It’s likely to be the most relaxing thing you've ever experienced.

I've been wanting to try this. There was a place a few blocks from where I live - called "Float" Stress Relief that might have been a second location for the company linked in your post. 3477 Yonge Street. They spent a lot of money renovating the space and installing the isolation tanks. The big thing is isolating from sounds (including your own breathing and heartbeat), and having a tank big enough that your own splashing doesn't provide too much wave action. Taken to the extreme - it can be used as a form of torture. But I think these small tanks are not fully isolated - so you'll still feel the odd street vibration and sound. Anyway, before I had a chance to walk over and try it - they went out of business. Ironically, now it's "Aegean Spa", reviewed in the MP section. Really odd place to have a semi-legitimate massage parlour, imo. Not sure if they still have the tanks (which were built in and tiled).

I've gone to H2O Float Spa on the Danforth. Did a couples float there. Really neat experience. Very relaxing. They also have the pods, similar to the above video, but I think that might be a little too enclosed for me. The couples float is done in a tub that's roughly the size of a queen bed, but you can still shut out all of the light and sound to get that feeling of sensory deprivation.

Did it years ago before some exams. And write my best exams ever.

It's all about visualizing perfection of an act while in there. Sports guys do it.

I tried it a long time ago, and for me it was a whole lot of nothing. I think I chose one hour, but after about half an hour I got out to check my watch, and saw I still had half an hour left, so I went back in. But at the end of it, I just said 'meh, that was a whole lot of nothing' to myself. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Same experience. I just spent $70 floating in salt water for an hour. Actually, it was more boring than anything. Now to be sensory deprived for the whole day would be interesting if you are up for the challenge. I wonder if they allow it?

Watch "Altered States" movie before trying it.

I went to a newish place in Markham called Float Valley. Its at Mccowan and Highway 7 (southeast corner).
Nice facility, with 4 standard rooms like in that Youtube video, plus 2 cabin rooms which are more spacious. I did the standard room.

Have admit that it is pretty relaxing and energizing.
But when inside the chamber, there is absolutely no light or sound, and you wear earplugs to keep the very salty water out of your ears.
You can prop the chamber door open, but they do turn off all lights in the room, so it is pitch black inside, either way.
Could not see my hand which I held up at times in front of my face.
Interesting experience, and they do have yoga/meditation rooms for before and after.
Not for everyone, but an interesting experience. Cost is 60 plus tax, but there are multiple visit packages for cheaper.
they turn on lights and music to let you know when your time is up. Shower in the room.
Will repeat.
