Anicca Float Club

Tried this out on a Groupon, so happy that I did. My BF and I have gone three times now and I feel great after my float. The first one I was much too much in my head, second one I was fussing with getting my neck to relax, this one, well this one had me feeling like the universe. I know sounds weird but I truly felt like the universe all these points of energy moving in symmetry and no there were no mind altering substances used I just finally let go. The owners and crew are all fabulous, it’s a very chill atmosphere and they offer a great selection of tea for post float. This is not a rush on and out type of thing, give yourself time to enjoy.

Bucket List: Total sensory deprivation for an hour. Check!
Not weird, WONDERFUL! A Groupon for two «floats» at the Anicca Float Club in Warrenville finally let me satisfy my curiosity about what it would be like with total sensory deprivation. Wow!
After my float session started, it took a few minutes to get past the novelty of everything. But once I settled in and calmed, it was like I was being wrapped in a gel. Totally weightless with no points of pressure anywhere. Strange but awesome. Total darkness. No sounds. Totally relaxing. Wow. What a place for meditation!
I can only imagine how much this could help someone with chronic pain or pressure points.
This is a very nice place — classy with a knowledgeable staff. Very «spa like» and clean. Not a cheesy thing in sight.
Looking forward to my next float…

This is the 3^rd time I have floated and like many others, I need to relax and let go. I have found this to be the only thing that gives me one hour of uninterrupted peace. Enough about Floating– Anicca Float Club is fantastic! Lindsay and Paul go out of the way– from Paul standing in the parking lot– waving at me to help me locate the spa, to Lindsay sitting down talking with me after my float, to make the experience great! The place is clean, peaceful, relaxing and inviting! I will be going back even though I leave 2.5 hours away!

My daughter has gone here two times and from the first moment was in love with floating. Lindsay and Paul are so welcoming and friendly; you can tell they are truly committed to the floating experience. Even sitting in the waiting room is relaxing for me. The facilities are incredibly clean & maintained. I can’t say enough good things about them. Thank you for having this oasis in the suburbs.

I felt so good and relaxed also I experienced pain free joints. I have never felt so good! to take the time for myself and shut out all the noise we experience on a daily basis. I highly recommend Anicca Float Club!

I was a little apprehensive but heard such wonderful things – and the reviews were all so good that I had to give it try. My reasons? Well the idea of one hour of uninterrupted quiet time sounded really good. Little did I know that there would be so many other reasons to go back.
From the moment I walked in the door as I smelled the lavender, saw the relaxation lighting within the waiting area, and friendly staff I was impressed. We got to see the float room and went over the rules before beginning. As soon as I got into the tank and laid down I turned off the light for complete darkness. It was great. If you really try to relax your mind will fall somewhere in between asleep and awake. As the water is composed of 41% Epsom salt you will be very buoyant and will not sink or flip. It is completely effortless. OK so here was the unexpected part – I have had some pain in my hip and knee, and after the float it was gone. I was told that is due to the magnesium in the water, which will also help to lower blood pressure. After I was finished with my float and was offered tea afterwards, as I sat in the waiting area I noticed how soft my skin was. What a nice side benefit! I am now looking at the calendar, ready to schedule my next float!

I randomly came across the concept of flotation therapy when trying to look for some relief for back pain that has recently been stopping me in my tracks. Couple that with 3 kids under 6 — and my strong need to have a quiet space — thought this was an easy way to take care of several needs in one shot.
I called on a Saturday, with hopes to book my first appointment that day or the next, but with schedules packed, I had to book later in the week. As I was booking my appt — Lindsey got to hear the circus in the background as I asked her to let me know if anything opened up sooner. Fast forward to the evening, with my back hurting so much, I had to lay down on the floor after dinner — holding my phone up over me, I was excited to see a text inquiring whether I wanted to come in the next day as they had a cancellation. I jumped on it, and was so happy to have gone in.
While I would say I was excited to try this out, I also wasn’t over-​hyped about it as I didn’t know anyone who had done it. This was a fresh experience with a fresh perspective. And as I floated, I felt a calm that really has been hard to achieve in my over-​connected, over-​stimulated, over-​scheduled typical day. My mind was clear and personal reflection, that much more powerful. The weightlessness and absence of pressure on my back and joints made me feel taller. As my experience came to a close, I stretched a rather satisfying stretch that I don’t think I’ve had before.
Physical benefits aside, my mood was elevated over the course of the next few days — something I was surprised about. I felt more ‘able’ — not sure how to express it, but challenges diminished in scale, and paths clearer.
I went again a week later, and the experience was richer as I relaxed further. I plan to go much more frequently — and take my husband too!

The float rooms are amazing at Anicca Float club. First, the float tank is large; not like the float pods at other places. The tank was tall enough to stand in and was about 6×8. I never once touched the sides of the tank while in my session which helped create a relaxing meditative state. The facility was VERY clean and everything is provided; earplugs, washcloth and shampoo, conditioner and body wash to use in the beautiful rain shower. The owners explained everything about the float experience in detail and you could see their passion for the benefits of the float experience in everything they do! I highly recommend Anicca Float Club and I can’t wait to go back again!

What a great opportunity to have this available in the suburbs. Scheduling appointments is easy. Instructions are very clear and concise. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all for my first visit. The owners are very inviting and went the extra mile to make everything comfortable!

I wish I would have done this 20 years ago! As someone who lives with chronic pain I feel 20 years younger when I leave this place. This works better than massages, chiropractic treatments and physical therapy for me. The relief I get from a float also lasts longer too. I highly recommend trying it for anyone with pain issues. The facility is also amazing. From the décor to the tea and kombucha and the calming scent that encourages relaxation while transporting you to a relaxing destination, this place can’t be beat!

This was a unique experience. The most relaxing thing I’ve ever done. Best part is I didn’t have to «do» anything. I was so relaxed I sat in the lobby for about 40 min to get reacclimated. I would recommend this to everyone. Staff was super friendly we talked for a good 30 minutes. Love having a good conversation with anyone.

What an amazing experience. I am a very high strung person and decided to give floating a try, I was blown away. My experience was amazing and I will definitely be back!

If you’ve never been and are hesitant at all just let go and give it a try. The staff is so friendly and they will walk you through every step and answer any questions you may have. I recommend going in at least 15 minutes early if it’s your first visit so you have time to fill out a short waiver and you’ll be able to look around the facility.
I’ve been to a float tank before that disappointed a bit but Anicca hit all the marks. Clean space, beautiful and roomy tanks, they provide towels, a robe, ear plugs, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Basically everything you need. I also appreciated that in the back where the restrooms are they also have hair dryers and lotion for after your float which not all places offer as well as good tea.

My girlfriend had read about float therapy before, and jumped on the Groupon that Anicca offered. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I’m willing to try just about anything once, so when she asked if I’d go with her, I said «sure!» The orientation video on their website spells out the entire experience completely and prepares you for what to expect. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and found my relaxed state and peace of mind afterwards very similar to how I feel after a really good massage. The hot tea afterwards (lots of high-​quality choices) was a near perfect way to prepare for going back out into the «real» world. The owners are friendly and incredibly helpful. I’d forgotten that the Groupon was for two floats each, so I was quite happy when the owner asked us about scheduling our next float… we get to do it again! A side note, the facility is absolutely spotless and perfectly maintained.
If Anicca were closer to where we live, we’d probably add a monthly float to our routine. I’m certain we’ll be back periodically when we have something planned in the Naperville area.

As someone who doesn’t like water, I wasn’t sure if floating would be right for me. However, the experience blew me away. I live a very busy lifestyle so the ability to get away for an hour in the most relaxed, calming environment possible is priceless. The owners are fantastic and down to earth. Everything about the experience was fantastic. I highly recommend floating!

I did some researching on relaxation and found floating. I have a very active mind and it’s extremely difficult for me to fall asleep, let alone relax. I also have some very bad sleep issues. I found Anicca Float through Unilocal and was so impressed with the reviews and pictures. I was so happy to see that it was in the burbs and not out in the city, that they were reasonably priced, and best of all — they weren’t claustrophobic tanks.
I came here with my boyfriend recently and the reviews are on point — the facility was extremely clean and the couple who own the place are so friendly, they treat you like you’re a friend. Great instructions for easy understanding before and after. I loved how private the rooms were and how gorgeous the showers were. And of course the tea and water at the end!
I hate to give this place 4 stars out of all the 5 out there, however, my experience was not 100% amazing. I think I went into the experience with very high hopes and I feel like they were dashed. Let me say that this isn’t the fault of the facility or the owners.
As soon as I started to float it was very nearly impossible for me to shut my mind off as it’s always racing. I laid there for awhile and I felt like the time was dragging, I did try to let go and almost had it. However, towards the end I had a pretty bad anxiety attack (for I don’t know what reason at all) and got nauseous and immediately had to get out. Thankfully I had only gotten out about 10 – 15 minutes before the float was supposed to be over so it wasn’t too much of a waste of me getting out early. It was really hard to shake my nerves and relax afterwards. I feel that it may not be fair to judge based on my first visit alone, however, I’m so hesitant/​scared to come back because of my experience and I definitely don’t want to repeat it again.
For people who want to try this place out I so recommend coming here. I just wish that I knew before coming in that all floats are different, that maybe the first time may not be amazing like someone else’s, or that you could possibly get motion sickness. My boyfriend loved it and felt relaxed and refreshed afterward. I give this place a thumbs up for an alternative way to relax, even if it may not be for everyone.

This is one of the most amazing things I have done. I am a big guy that has played a rough competitive sport my whole life. I have had a great deal of pain over the years and nothing has worked as well as floating! After my 2^nd session yesterday my knee an shoulder popped back into place something that I have been trying to do for years. Lindsay and Paul are GREAT people. I am not a very social person but they have created an atmosphere that it’s impossible to not be relaxed. They are both very nice and easy to talk to and are extremely knowledgeable in floating. I highly suggest giving this a try at least once but try twice. The first time your getting use to what your doing but still very relaxing the 2^nd time was even better not to mention the facility is super clean and feels like home.

Yes! Finally! I have found my new relaxation vice! Their facilities are spotless and the owners are amazing. It feels like you’re just chatting with old friends. You feel like a million bucks after your float. My husband and I enjoyed it so much, we purchased a monthly package. I have been recommending floating with Anicca to all my friends.

This place makes me happy. Floating, especially with some practice, is a wonderful, relaxing, bliss inducing, restorative process. Floating makes meditation easy. Floating costs less than getting a massage, and it makes me feel even better than massage does. On top of all that goodness, this facility is beautifully run, and the proprietors are extremely friendly and professional.

Firstly, I just want to add that that I was too excited and anxious to get myself in the tank so I forgot to take as many photos as I originally planned. However, the pictures I did take, as well as any other photos uploaded, provides absolutely no justice as to what you see/​feel/​vibe the second you step foot into this place. The owners (Paul & Lindsay) are beyond enthusiastic to introduce you to not only the entirety of the spa, but also the process and educational details about their rooms, as well as, any/​every question you have about anything. Their enthusiasm is so contagious it made me want to go the next day. They were more focused and tuned into the experience you get to receive right then and there, and never once made any sales pitch pushing you to purchase additional services or membership. So they both most definitely set the vibe before you float based on their zen-​ful professionalism and nurturing personalities which allows you to feel at ease if you have any questions at any time. They give you personally/​individually an astounding presentation of the rooms, and the procedures that take place both before and after the float. They also are totally open to have any weird/​random questions you may have (I did!) about things that possibly may occur during the float session. They provide hands on instructions and guidance of the entirety of the process which leaves you feeling assured and comfortable. The ambiance of the entire business is absolutely wondrous. All of the rooms, hallways, waiting area, common area, can personally only be defined as: mind blowing sensory serenity. You do not feel like you are at a business, you feel like you are on vacation. Not some corny all inclusive vacation, but a vacation dedicated to your consciousness and mind. You feel like you are supposed to be there, not that you were told to go there. It is hands down the best sensory deprivation float tank spas/​businesses I’ve ever been to (I go once a month, always on vacations, constantly trying new places). The rooms are flawless, beautifully designed, perfect décor, amazing layout of the appliances (open shower and floatation tank), high quality amenities (soap, shampoo, conditioner, earplugs, towels, et.). When you session comes to an end they have numerous all natural and soothing hot teas, water, and comfortable couches and chairs to sit and wait on if your with someone, or if you just want to peacefully take in everything that you just experienced before walking out of the door. Definitely have already referred numerous people to go to Anicca Float Club for the next time they plan to float, and will continue to refer everyone here who wants to try the experience of a sensory deprivation floatation tank and its countless benefits that they provide for your mind, body, and soul. This is a place everyone needs to experience. See you very soon Lindsay and Paul!
