Forest City Float

This is a unique experience that everyone should try. My daughter and I went for an hour of float time. We arrived and were welcomed kindly and shown the attached yoga studio as well. There are 2 rooms with float pods and showers and everything you need. You can have a little ambient lighting if you choose and also ear plugs and a head support if you choose. I chose nothing and darkness and I challenged myself with the sensory deprivation. It was good for me. The host was so kind and informative and the facility was very clean and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs to get to this unit, so be aware if you have mobility issues. It was definitely worth it.

This float was probably the most loving thing I ever did for myself. It was so nice to experience taking up a minuscule space of the universe and yet feeling so expansive at the same time! Next time I will book 2-3 sessions back to back!

I’m so glad this place exists. Cozy and sweet studio space with a kind staff that explains things so well and answers all of your questions. Facilities are clean. Sometimes you get out of your session to the sounds of a yoga class in the adjoining yoga studio and it’s just so peaceful. This very much feels like a healing space.

It took me a long time to work up the nerve to try the float pod but I’m so glad that I did. It’s as relaxing, if not more so, than a good massage because your muscles and nervous system can just truly relax…and float! I felt so clearly just how much tension I had been holding!

The sauna is so nice and clean. There’s some cool mood lighting and you can connect your phone via Bluetooth. It’s very relaxing but also invigorating, and a great detox.

I expect both the float and the sauna to remain parts of my self care routine and I’m so glad that this great space exists to facilitate that!

My first experience floating was at Forrest City Floatand it was amazing! They were so welcoming and accommodating. Made sure we were both comfortable for our first Float. The only downfall was one of the pods had a broken light which got a little flickery in my Pod but he was very transparent about that fact and it was in the process of getting fixed. We have two more credits and will be back soon!

I truly love this place. The staff is extremely friendly, and facility is clean. Every time I get done with a float I feel like a whole new person.

This place is amazing. The operators are incredible people that although they run a business they are more concerned about your experience with them, providing you great service and your well-being! In my slowness I booked an appointment on the wrong day and not under a membership, they changed my appointment and credited me the balance difference! They did it with ease even though they were within their right to charge me the normal rate, charge me for the float and make more money. The studio is clean, the staff is wonderful and their service is impeccable. I will recommend this place to all my friends and even strangers if floating comes up 😆 If you're thinking of trying a float session...this is definitely the best in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin area. I'm so glad I found this place!

This was one the the most unique & relaxing experiences. The gentlemen who helped me was very patient and explained everything thoroughly. I will definitely do this again. Make sure to check this place out!

Relaxing, clean, serene. Enjoyed my time there and the in-room shower was nice after my float. Owners responsive to my questions and helpful during the checkout process when applying my gift card.

I haven't had a float in a long time because there wasn't a facility in the area. I kept meaning to get to FCF last year and it got away from me.
Then COVID ....
So, my desk and zoom-weary body was in serious need of some R & R and I determined it was finally time.
Tammy was great, friendly and informative. I love the downtown location with plenty of off-street parking. And I was able to get in same day (mid-week, mid-day).
Plus, there is a come-try-us rate that is almost a 3 for 2 pricing. Knowing that any body healing therapy takes more than one session, I ponied up for the three to start off.
My only issue was self-created in that with the new COVID care, I had to call in from the sidewalk before proceeding into the waiting room. I normally leave my phone in the car for spa experiences and, lo and behold, I forgot to silence it. So, yes, 2 calls and 3 texts later, my session was not quite as restful as it should have been. At least my volume was fairly low. I'll remember that next time!

Did a pod float for the first time. The place was decorated lovely and it was extremely clean. The float pod experience was fantastic. The owners were especially nice. Benny explained everything very well so I knew what to expect. I highly recommend trying this. You will go back again and again!

It was my first time going today and was an amazing experience! Tami was super helpful and friendly and great with communicating all the steps prior to, during and after the session. Perfect location downtown, I will definitely be back soon!

Very relaxing environment. Super helpful informative gentleman working. Brought my husband for his first time float. He completely enjoyed it.. Used the sauna and the float. Will be back to try some of the other options you have available!

I was so nervous, but directions were clear. The swelling in my ankle was down! It's not a wives tale, this worked 100% for me

This experience went way beyond my expectations. The facility was so beautiful and clean. The people were friendly and the float experience was deeply meditative, relaxing and restorative. I would highly recommend!

This is so good for your body I requested about the temperature from a former visit and she listened and actually helped me out. Tammy is very helpful and friendly and the floating is awesome

Very clean, relaxing and professional
Explained everything clearly

Owners are always so kind and welcoming. I always have a great experience.

Floating is very relaxing and Forest City Float takes care of everything you need! Excellent service & staff!!
