Kelly Easley

Found this place for a unique date for my husband and I. We did the fire and ice. It was actually super relaxing. I loved that we could play our own music. Only wish is that they provide you with more towels (only 1 was provided) because you have to dry off before getting back into the sauna so by the time we were done and needed to dry off our towels were soaked. Loved the experience and will be back!

Phlot is a clean and private place for sensory deprivation salt tank experience. I have been twice and each time, I have left feeling deeply relaxed and with a calm mind. It was so nice to have an hour to let my unhappy joints relax deeply and be eased. Bonus that my skin felt amazing after showering! Book early and online as they fill up fast.

Nicole Coman

I went back in January. Water is warm and relaxing coupled with the epsom salts got my circulation nice and going which was nice after all the sub zero temps. Found it a bit hard to relax though, best time was during the meditation type music they played to let you know it's time to get out. Found out after you can play music and I think you that would have helped my mind from bouncing around and stop focusing on what my muscles were doing

Becky schort

Neat experience. I went for the sensory deprivation rooms and the "pods" were cool the water was warmish. Not as warm as my skin I was rather cold not something I would do regularly but it's a cool thing to try.

Ryan Pellow

I highly recommend phlot for back pain. My back is fused between t6-t11. Floating was the best I have felt since my car accident over a year ago.

Julia Hahn

Very clean. Staff was very welcoming. The experience itself was ok. I though I found it very hard to relax and was more than ready to be done when the hour was up. Stepping out of the unit however and back into the "real world" it instantly hit me how truly relaxed my body became (maybe just not my mind). Would definitely recommend.

Cherish Smerecki

This was my first time here. It was a GREAT experience! They provide everything needed, towel, earplugs, q tips, shampoo, conditioner, body wash...ect... They even have hair dryers if needed. When you're done, there's a place to relax and have some water if you want. One thing that I like is that there's no hurry for you to leave once you're done. They want you to have that FULL RELAXING EXPERIENCE. I recommend at least trying it out and see if it's for you. I will be back.... with friends.

Nancy Marie Cherbeyla

Been going there since they have been open. Clean, relaxing and the staff is great. The owner Tyler is handls on and a great conversationalist. I do the floating and the Fire/Ice and love them both. Get great health benefits like pain relief, good skin which is very important to me because of a rare skin disease that causes a lot of discomfort. I also get headache relief ... so many other things. You have to go, promise you will love it.

Jessica Ward

I've been going to Phlot for a couple years now and it is truly an amazing experience every time! From the moment you wall through the door you can feel the energy of this place is different. It's so calm and relaxing through the entire building. The float tanks are very spacious, I even floated at 7 months pregnant with no issues. If you are adventurous, check out their new Fire & Ice room ;)

Bianca

The Fire & Ice experience is fun to do with someone else. The only thing that would’ve made it more enjoyable would be extra towels from the constant drying off between the sauna and ice bath.

Paul Townsend Lamb

Did the fire and ice couples package. Wow. The facility is very clean and geared toward excluding the outside world as much as possible. The sauna smelled of aromatic cedar and was a toasty 150 degrees. A great way to loosen all the cramped muscles. 10 minutes into the heat soak led to a “plunge” (let’s be honest it was a slow sink) into 50 degree sparkling clear water. Concerted effort is needed the first time in to fully submerge but it is worth it. After about a minute you stop noticing the cold and start feeling your heart rate slow and can actually relax. 5 minutes in the cold water led to a dry off and back into the sauna to soak up some heat. This repeats for about an hour and then it’s time to shower off and relax before leaving. An amazing time and I will definitely return to try a float experience.

Dawn Anderson

Amazing experience. This is definitely something everyone needs to try! I’m hooked.

Herb Brower

First time floating and this place gace me a great experience. Thank you for offering a great service to the community.

Mike Johnson

I was surprised to find that GR had a float place. I had never tried it before. I found the place great. Quiet, relaxing, incredibly clean. I'm a big dude and the tank had no trouble fitting me. Tyler was quick to accommodate my needs. I'll be back once I hone my meditation/mindfulness skills.

Mary B

This was THE best experience! Total relaxation.I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm sold. I felt t wonderfully content and relaxed. I will be back.

Jeremy Marr

Such an amazing experience. Magical. I've been suffering from back pain for a while. This provided so much relief. But the mental journey was even better.

Angela Martin

The staff (Tyler) was incredible! While waiting, I overheard a conversation between a potential customer and Tyler; he was informative, patient and had an answer to everything. Phlot values its new and existing customers - will definitely consider going again! The facilities are very clean, the atmosphere is relaxing and the floats are life changing. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Tatianna Spencer

What a unique experience! I loved it. The rooms are gorgeous and the space flows really well together. The tanks are much bigger than I expected. And the way they ease you out of a phlot is beautiful with the soft music and light. I've only been once but will be back!

Karma Schmidt

This was my first time floating and it exceeded my expectations. Phlot is the perfect place to go in GR if you're feeling stressed or just want to relax. The place is spotless and the owners make you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in. They are very knowledgeable about floating and are more than happy to give you a tour and answer any questions you might have. I felt amazing - completely relaxed and stress free after my session and definitely plan on being back soon!

Was a good experience but there is definitely a bit of room for improvement with the actual float. The air temp in the tank seemed colder than the water which really took away from the feeling of the float, and there was also a drip sound about every fifteen minutes which pulled me out of my meditative state every time. Aside from this it was a nice, relaxing atmosphere and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Doug Nowiski

Floated for the first time today. Have been interested in it for a few years now. My experience at Phlot could not have been better. I was kindly greeted and given a good run-down of what to do. The tank itself was superb and free of stimuli (save a few sounds which seemed to be a door closing in the distance, perhaps to another float room). Cleanliness of the whole facility was 5 stars. Definitely will be recommended this place & experience to everyone I know! Felt just as good as a massage, but with a far more relaxed mental state.

Megan Rader

Grand Rapids is lucky to have such a lovely place to float! The entire facility is so clean and peaceful, and the staff is super welcoming and accommodating. I love getting there a few minutes early to enjoy a cup of tea on the couch before my float. Floating in one of the tanks is such an incredible experience--it gives me the opportunity to turn my mind off and just settle my thoughts. Awesome meditative experience. There's even space for you to get yourself together before heading back out. I love Phlot <3

Kyle VanderStel

I purchased the 52 session package to get my price down per phlot. What a value. Today was my 10th phlot and was the most relaxing and peaceful one hour of my life. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s so nice to take a break from your day and reset your mind and your body. The owner Tyler really cares about his clients. The cleanliness is top notch too. I’m not a germaphobe but I am germ aware and I have no problem coming back time and again.

Jake McAvinchey

It was my first time to try floating, so i was a little apprehensive at first. The owner came out and was able to explain the whole process and answer all my questions. The facility is very clean and the float tanks are very nice and spacious. I had a great time and felt more relaxed than I ever have when I was done. I will be heading back soon.

Matthew

My first float and what a fantastic experience! Nice, informative, and friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable environment. I will definitely be back! I felt so much better after my session!

Petey Benda

How many times have you been stressed and you just wished you could hit the off switch on life just for a little bit? This is what you need. The idea of sitting in a pitch blank tank not being able to hear, see, smell anything might make some uneasy but after that hour is done you're gonna thank yourself. I feel completely refreshed, tension around my body was practically non existent when I was done. Staff was knowledgeable and answered all the questions before I could even ask them. Parking is in the rear and also next to the cycling place a few doors down.

Michelle Mishler

Staff was beyond excellent, very knowledgeable and offered helpful tips. This place is in pristine condition, and for anyone who would be compelled to question the cleanliness of an experience like this, this is the location to go. Every single detail was meticulously thought of for the phloter’s premium experience. I will most certainly be back, and inviting friends and buying gift cards. Thank you, Tyler, for making it such a comfortable experience for my husband and I.

Leslie Schmitt

This was my second time here and loved it! If you're someone who has struggled with relaxing or even meditating, I can't recommend floating enough. Facility is well taken care of and has a really chill vibe. Great place to go to de-stress.

Dan Peacock

Strange experience. Friendly staff and very helpful for a first time "floater". You are given a private room to strip and shower (yes floating is done nude) and the tank is in the same room.. At first it was a strange sensation to be in the dense water so there was not much relaxing accomplished but after about 30 minutes the experience became quite enjoyable as my mind roamed into and out of random memories. There is a special price for first timers around 65$ for 60 minutes (2018). I would recommend anyone on the edge to give it a try but I am still on the fence if I would go again myself the normal rate seems a little high.

Hannah Van Alphen

What a fascinating experience! My coworker and I were talking about chronic pain, massages, etc, and she not only recommended this experience to me, she honored me with a voucher of her own to try it myself! I am so grateful to have tried this, and I want others to, as well. Tyler was professional, courteous, and informative. Right away, there are slip on shoes to aid in safety and sanitation. Tyler gave me tips for settling in--and getting out of--the water carefully and safely, and thoughtful accessories like earplugs are provided, in case someone like me has sensitive ears and is willing to forego the sensory deprivation for a dry ear canal. I was a complete dolt and accidentally shaved my legs the morning-of (my appointment was in the afternoon), and I simply used the Vaseline provided for any open cuts on my legs instead. There are two intermediary rooms-one for brief before or after contemplation/decompression, with a night sky projection and mandala-making pendulum/sand box (what *was* that called?), and another "touch up" room with ample counter space and mirror for prepping to go back into the Matrix. Once in the room, there is a shower to prep your body, hair, and honestly, mind, for a contemplative water experience. In those first few moments, you realize how much gravity pulls on your body normally. The sensation of letting go and relaxing is its own practice and exercise, and though there is an optional flotation ring provided for neck support, I opted to just rely on the buoyancy of my head. The water felt kind of how one would expect to feel if they were a kid who stayed floating in the bathtub long after the bubbles had dissipated, with enough room for an actual adult. I found myself cycling through introspective meditation about life choices, searching for visuals in the blackness of space and closed eyelids, stretching out in different outward flexes when my muscles asked permission to do so, exploring the feeling of weightlessness and thinking of the cosmos and space, and giving myself physical reminders to be present yet relaxed in the moment (breathe in, breathe out, unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth). I have asthma, so I did find the building humidity by the end of the hour to task my control of paranoia, anxiety, and measured breathing, but it was nothing uncomfortable or scary, just...a practice in knowing myself, and knowing that I was still in an environment that may feel controlled, but that I could get out of if I wanted to (you can always open the door or push a button to turn the light on before the staff would otherwise "wake you up"). I realized how addicted I am to certain senses, inputs, and feedback. With all of that minimized, you are left with yourself, which can be both uncomfortable and incredibly invigorating. Then, out of seemingly nowhere, even through earplugs, I could hear subtle spa-like music drifting through my consciousness, and I knew it was time to surface. Outside the Phlot chamber in my room, I showered off the salt water and conditioned my hair (avoid it the first shower). I got back into my street clothes (*tip, wear comfortable clothes that you know you'll want to sense afterwards, and your outfit home will be its own small sensory treat), grabbed my things, and sat on an armchair in the decompression room, watching the mandalas form in the sand as I formed my thoughts and gathered myself to face the cacophony of senses the outer world promised. My body felt light, comforted somehow, and relieved of stressors. Afterwards, I couldn't resist getting the holiday special, getting one session for my husband, and the other for my best friend with Cystic Fibrosis. As amazing as it feels, this just feels like one of those experiences that makes you think, "I know someone else who would benefit from this feeling". Phlot on, my friends!

Heather S

I am a highly critical person and just tried out Phlot for the first time and I loved it! Great for meditation, relaxation, rejuvenating your mind before your last few final exams! We came from London, Ontario Canada for shopping and visiting family and finished off our weekend with a float. Would love to be able to do this atleast once a week as apart of my yoga and workout routine or after a deep tissue massage. I could feel the effects of the float for the last three days helping me stay calm and relaxed as I am normally fairly high strung. Extremely clean and quiet atmosphere. Very knowledgeable staff. Would be a great gift for anyone! We will definitely return! Thanks for a great experience.

Nathan Graham

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. Lately I've been overcome with stress and anxiety. Last week I was having severe panic attacks. After an hour session here I felt reborn and stress free. I highly recommend this!

Melody MelloLily

I've been a few times now. My first time going, it took me a while to relax because it was such an odd sensation and new to me. But I've found that the more times I go, the quicker I relax and I pick up little tricks here and there to help me each time. This experience is great to block out everything from the outside (hence it being a deprivation tank) and it works. Not only is the experience in the tank itself amazing, but the shower is really neat like rain falling down. I love how everything is provided, such as soap and shampoo/conditioner. Afterwards, it goes even further to be able to relax in the lounge area and drink tea. Lounge area provides cold water and hot water for tea bags with a wide selection of flavors. Also a few enjoyable puzzles to try out as you come out of your sleepy state from the floating. I recommend this to people in general for relaxation, stress relief, and pain reducer.

Anthony Pumphrey

This place was really neat. You get a room to yourself to "float" in a large tank filled with salt water. Our hosts were very friendly and the atmosphere laid back and relaxed. It was a great experience and we will probably be back again.

Greg Bates

If you have back pain and or joint pain this is the thing for you!! Also helps with muscle recovery after work outs! Very relaxing and helps with your thoughts. I'm not one that's a fan of complete silence, but I enjoyed this very much. Great looking place also! Very relaxing the moment you walk in.

Amy pecor

I have just had my 2nd float here and plan to keep coming back. The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming. The facility is clean and modern. The float tanks here are larger than they were at the last place that I went to. Booking a float and changing a float time is easy on their website. The float itself is a very relaxing experience.

Robert Hendriksen

Another great Phlot experience This was my second Phlot and it was better than the first. I was able to relax more and already feel that I've benefited more. It's like anything, the more you do it, the more benefit you receive. I plan to go each month going forward as I know the benefits will compound. As was the case the first time, the experience was first class. Very clean and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Dan Lawitzke

First time floating and it was an incredible experience. Tyler has done an amazing job with Phlot. The facility is beautifully done, very modern, upscale, and functional. I will absolutely be back and hope to make floating a part of my weekly routine. Highly recommend.

Liz Phaneuf

A very relaxing, calming environment. The employees make you feel very welcome and at home. Floating is like nothing I have ever experienced and the feelings of contentment last for days. Definitely something you have to try at least once.

Eric On The Web

Good process, very relaxed afterwards, nice woman at the front desk. She explained the process well. Works great as a one off or if you use it every month as a therapeutic method.

Erik Spencer

Way more than just a float. This is an experience of serenity; in a world that is becoming more distracting by the minute. The attention to detail is staggering. Not a single item in the building demands your attention; but when it does have your attention it commands it. An excellent example is the shampoo dispenser, which is magnificently solid but blend in unnoticed. The whole building could be described as such. The result is a incredibly unique experience that starts the moment you walk in.

Travis Trudgeon

Absolutely amazing experience. If you have not tried one you these yet, make this your place to go. Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything from room temp, water temp, to noise levels was perfect

Zachariah Krieger

Very cool experience. Wasn't sure what to expect out of my first float but it was, beyond my expectations! Felt relaxed, refreshed, clear mind after a 60 minute float. I would highly recommend!

Diane Kelly

Phlot Spa - Love, love, love it! I have had the opportunity to "float" at this Spa several times...it is state of the art. The location is conveniently located (1555 Wealthy Street SE, GR). This facility is new, beautiful, extremely clean and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are always willing to explain and assist. The floats have helped alleviate my headaches, back and neck pain, and muscle tension. Highly anticipating my next "float".

Alexis Elizalde

Great experience! The staff is welcoming, helpful and friendly and the facility is nice and clean. Highly recommend trying it if you're curious as to what it may be like. It truly is a very peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

jack Zieger

Waited about a month for an appointment but it was 100% worth it. Absolutely amazing experience. Cant wait to go back again!

Sami DeVries

Floating was such a nice experience, really magical. Staff was friendly and facility was well set up.

Roland Bruegger

Wonderful experience. Friendly chill staff and relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. New, top notch built facility, with all important aspects covered and addressed. Nice flow and clean. Highly recommendable for anybody. Float=high concentration Epsomsalt (Magnesiumsulphate) bath.

Thomas Seeds

My first time, I have been thinking about it for years and never thought I would try it. More relaxed after my float than I think I have ever been in my life. Best experience! Super clean facility.

Alex Boekeloo

This place is a must try if you haven't. Even if you have, then you know to try again! Their tanks are nice and big. The waterfall shower is amazing. The staff was very friendly and informative.

Allison Poosawtsee

Couldn't wait to try phlot. I finally decided to try it and definitely felt like a spa experience. I had some trouble in the tank because I had some razor burns that the salt made sting, so I'll remember not to shave beforehand next time. If you have any cuts or razor burn, wait until they're healed to go. Or, put some petroleum jelly on them. BTW - I'm clausterphonic, but the tank didn't feel like that at all.

Secret Shopper

Spacious float rooms that are clean & cozy. A private longe area with a vanity room for collecting yourself after floating. The staff is attentive & courteous. GR's premier floating center... You gotta check it out!

Chris Gates

It's always a great time when I come to Phlot. I've had a different experience every visit. Great for de-stressing after a long week, adding some mental clarity, and relaxing the muscles.

Aaron Koenes

The owner really has thought of everything to make the experience enjoyable. Facility is very clean, looks great, and it's very relaxing to float. Definitely recommended!

Pamela Sachs

I had an amazing experience. Total relaxation and the environment was super clean. Very knowledgeable staff ultra modern facility. Walked out feeling relaxed and enlightened.

Deidre Rabine

First time floating! It took me a while to settle into my float, but the experience was great! Clean environment, friendly staff, and calming experience.

Sarah VanDenburg

Amazing experience. Tyler was very kind and helpful. The facility was emaculant. Will definitely make this part of a routine towards my journey to a healthier me!

John Hensley

Was like no other experience I have ever had. Staff explained process well and use of rooms. Very clean. Great place I will definitely be back and highly recommend try it at least once.

Nicholas Vander Veen

It's a weird but enjoyable experience. I highly recommend trying it, but try to do some meditation beforehand in order to get in a good mindset for it. Need a clear mind and no time constraints to interrupt you.

Ben Van Til

Great experience and felt really relaxed afterwards. Nothing mind blowing, but definitely never felt anything like it before. Probably won't do it again, but the one time experience was great.

Don Reggie

Well run. I've made notes for myself to assure an even better experience next time. Im hoping to fall asleep on the next visit. Really cool de-stressing expperience. I should of tried this year's ago.

Karen McBurney

Great experience. Fabulous decor. Friendly staff. Loved it so much that I became a monthly member!

Cory Rosencrans

I have floated now a couple of times and it helps me with stress or anxiety. The facility and equipment are very clean. The owner is very friendly and is happy to answer any questions you have

Kristen Loch

Always a great experience. Super clean, very soothing setup, the owner is helpful and friendly.

Karen Huckabone

One of the better things to come after quarantine. "Floating" is as amazing as they say. Phlot is taking it to a new level.

Clark Van Halsema

Unique experience in weightless reflection; complete sensory deprivation (no light or sound or weight); more salinity than the Dead Sea, but more manageable without the wind & waves

Megan MH

Very relaxing, comfortable and clean. Friendly/ welcoming environment. I will recommend to my friends.

Adam Robinson

First time floating, and it won't be my last. Super relaxing. Very nice building and facilities.
