Reviews from Our Clients

Weekly floats help recovery and wellbeing

I’ve been regularly floating for 4 months now and love it! Floating at the end of the week has helped my rest and recovery for the week ahead. The staff are warm and welcoming, and always willing to help with anything you need.

Thoughtful details, amazing healing-focused centre

Love this floatation centre for so many reasons. The staff are amazing, knowledgeable and happy to help. The manager is actually passionate about the healing power that is offered. The waiting area is super chill, always a yummy tea and water on offer. The infrared sauna is equipped with Bluetooth connection so I connect up a meditation mix through my mobile phone, lay back and relax. A robe is provided for ease of then moving to the flotation room. The float rooms are large, shower equipped, music plays, you have the option of leaving on or turning off pod lights and of course open or closing the pod lid. Afterwards you have plenty of time to shower, change and you can move to the ‘hair drying station’. This area has straighteners, curlers and hair dryers. I bought an intro pass for infrared and float – which is CRAZY cheap to buy. Next on my list is trying the massage services. Highly highly recommend giving Gravity a shot, the location is also super convenient afterward go for brunch, lunch or dinner at one of the amazing High St locations!

Infrared relief for soreness and injuries

This was my first experience with the infrared sauna. I had read the benefits and had researched. Everything I have read was positive. Easy to navigate and your own private room. I had read what to do as a lead up, eat light and drink a glass of water before your session. And I have to say I loved it. Got up to 60 degrees, the highest recommended and it didn’t take long to feel the tension and muscle soreness leave the body. I am feeling great and very Zen. Cannot wait for next session. This is now the next day and I still feel great. I highly recommend the infrared sauna to anyone who has muscle soreness and suffers from ongoing injury also. I have started up running again and I also go to the gym and do resistance training and cardio and my hip flexor is a constant source of pain. I have felt the difference after only one session. Next will be the float pod to try.

First float, clean facilities, magnesium magic

Had my first float experience here today. Facilities were great and clean. The staff made me feel at ease for my first time and the float was amazing – the benefits for your mind, your body, not to mention all of the magic of magnesium, wow. I’ll be back, thanks guys

Maddison Jacobs

Floats help back pain, stress and sleep

Absolutely love visiting Gravity and their float tanks, the centre is so clean and welcoming. Floating here significantly helps me with my back pain management, stress relief and exercise recovery. I find I always have an amazing sleep after a session and my anxiety levels are so much lower. I especially love doing an infrared sauna session followed by a float session. Thanks for such a great experience Gravity.

Alexandra Mc

Relaxing first float, fell asleep quickly

Nice first experience, actually fell asleep 20 minutes in. I wouldn’t recommend room 1 if you are sensitive to sound/vibrations because it’s closer to the entrance and you might hear/feel the tram passing by even with the ear plugs on. I might be nitpicking but overall it was a nice experience. Friendly staff

Aadhil Rizwan

Top-notch facilities and amazing staff

One of my favorite things to do! The staff at Gravity are always excellent, and the facilities are top notch. It takes some practice to get to the perfect float, but once you get there you will get addicted to the experience. I recommend booking in first thing in the morning so you have all day to feel wonderful and enjoy the benefits… the floating doesn’t stop when you get out of the water!

Mary

Peaceful, warm float with lovely staff

Amazing!!! I can’t wait for my husband to try this. I was worried about being in the pod and getting scared but it is so peaceful, warm and calming. I can’t wait to have another session. The staff are super lovely and helpful as well. The only downside (if you can call it that!) was how disoriented I was at the end of the time that I couldn’t find the light but I got there in the end!

Belinda

Clears creative blocks and relaxes deeply

Best therapy for clearing creative blocks and for complete muscle and mind relaxation. I love the staff, the rooms and the pods are spotless. I have recently bought a membership as I can’t imagine not incorporating regular floats into my weekly routine. Highly recommend as the results are instantaneous and ongoing.

C. Alli

Strange but relaxing, clean friendly place

A weird and wonderful experience! I have never floated before like this… it was strange and relaxing and I want to do it again. Loved the facilities, so clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. A little pricey for me but I will go again at some point.

Emma Starling

Blissful floats with passionate caring owners

Absolutely blissful experience. I felt recharged and refreshed afterwards. But most importantly the staff was friendly and professional and the centre was clean and serene. I was a sceptic initially but Gravity has changed all that after one float. I have floated three times and urge anyone to come to Gravity Float and immerse yourself in the whole experience more than once to really enjoy its benefits. I was lucky enough to meet the owners on my second float and I must say that I have never met a more dedicated and passionate business couple in my life. They have left their personal touch on this place. Sorry, I am off to Gravity right now for a float …..

Jeeva Sankaradas

Blissed out, darkness and weightless relief

Well my first experience of an isolation tank for my winter aches and pains. I decided to take up the introductory offer of 3 floats. Thoroughly “blissed out” with the total darkness, isolation and gravity free sensation. When the music came back on I just wanted to be left there and really wanted the experience to last longer. Yes, I enjoyed the whole experience thoroughly and look forward to my next 2 floatations with the Gravity Floatation Centre.

Damian McVeigh

Perfect way to unwind after work

Loved my first floating experience. The space is amazing and the staff are absolutely lovely. Very relaxing and calming, great way to unwind after work. Will definitely be back. Thank you Gravity! X

Kira Hannah

Healthy stress relief with professional service

Amazing experience, perfect friendly service. Great value for money. An exemplary business well run by professional staff. The best and healthiest way to let that lockdown stress melt away. Have already booked two more sessions.

Toby Mann

Five years of floats, spotless and welcoming

I have been going to Gravity for float sessions for 5 years. Floating helps me to relax and unwind and is definitely something I would recommend to anyone needing to destress and switch off from the daily grind of life. The experience and the benefits deepen with each session. The staff are amazing and welcoming and the centre is spotless. I can’t wait to get back to Gravity and regular floats.

Mirella Zalakos

Well equipped, relaxed after comprehensive induction

This was an amazing experience. Beautiful, clean and well equipped facility. The lovely staff member provided a comprehensive induction and I felt very at ease and thoroughly relaxed after my float.

Rebekah Jardine

Grounded and peaceful, best self-care strategy

Being a member of Gravity Float has been a life changer for me. The staff are very friendly, caring and helpful, they value their members very much and it shows! I am a busy counsellor and always feel so grounded and peaceful after a float! It’s the best self care strategy around. I highly recommend floating and becoming a member at Gravity Float

Julia Shay

Spotlessly clean, welcoming, best in Melbourne

The best float centre in Melbourne. Toni, Carly and staff are always warm and welcoming. The space is spotlessly clean, calm and soothing. 10/10 and highly recommended.

Kellie Greene

Caring team with relaxing sauna and float

Absolutely loved my experiences so far at Gravity Float & Wellness. The team are so caring and helpful. The infrared sauna was a larger size than most and super comfortable. The float itself was amazingly relaxing, my favourite yet! They provide everything you need, all you have to do is arrive. Loved it and can’t wait for more!!

Zhané Gibson

Relaxing float despite first-time nerves

Was my first time ever getting a massage and having a float. I wasn’t very comfy when my undies were pulled down, didn’t expect that.. but enjoyed the feeling of being relaxed after it… the salt float was amazing, does sting for the first 5 to 10 minutes but was lovely and relaxing. Thank you all for making me feel special xx

Kim Mosbey

Sparkling clean pods with friendly staff

What a fabulous place to relax! I have been going for a year now and always look forward to the next float. The staff are extremely friendly and the pods/rooms are always sparkling clean. Just bought a 10 pack, can’t wait to go back again. Thank you to all the staff for their friendliness and for going the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

Anna Meszaros

A peaceful sanctuary with rejuvenating pods

I have been a member of Gravity Float for more than two years and can truly say that this place is a haven away from the hustles and bustles of everyday life. The staff are always so lovely, kind, patient and accommodating that I always feel welcomed here. The facilities are clean and the magnesium float pods are so rejuvenating. I can happily say that I will continue to be a member here and treat this as a sanctuary to enjoy some peace, solitude and relaxation.

Bogart Phillips

Reduced pain and anxiety after first float

Just had my first float experience thanks to a gift card from my partner for Christmas. I was quite anxious prior because I have experienced a stroke, I’m not by any means lithe and I’m a big girl. The staff who looked after me were lovely and helpful. The float itself was amazing. I struggle with mobility and couldn’t figure how I might bring the lid down while trying to get into the pod so I had to leave it open. It didn’t matter… I managed to let go and completely relax and focus on my breathing. Getting out was a challenge because I had to kneel to counter the forces of the float. Kneeling is extremely painful for me due to arthritis. In spite of the challenges, I’d really recommend this to anyone who lives with pain and anxiety. I came out feeling relaxed and could feel how it reduced the pain I experience immediately. I’m booked in again for next week! Bring it on.

Frances Fenech

Warm welcoming staff and divine float

Had a lovely experience at Gravity. Staff were very warm and welcoming, the establishment was lovely and clean and the experience of the float was divine. Looking forward to coming back.

Isabella Zerella

Private infrared room with Bluetooth music

I did an infrared sauna session, and the setup was great! The sauna itself is long enough to lie down in (with legs bent), which some other saunas aren’t. Everything you need is in the room, and being able to play your own music/podcast via Bluetooth added to the experience too. Very relaxing and recharging – I will be returning again soon.

Jade Caruana

Exceeded expectations, staff made it easy

When I received a float as a gift, I was quite hesitant to use it. I’m so glad I did. The float completely exceeded my expectations!! The experience was unique and relaxing and the staff did an amazing job at ensuring I was comfortable. The centre was also cleaned to a very high standard. Highly recommend trying it!

Madeleine Smith

Magical floats helping physical and mental health

Everything is unbelievable, staff wonderful at all times, welcoming, helpful, and caring. Beautiful atmosphere, nothing that needs fixing… rooms spotless always. My floating sessions are magical and totally helping for my physical and mental health ✨️. Thank you Sally

Sally Anais

Best float centre, spotless and welcoming

This place is absolutely divine. From the super friendly, welcoming, pleasant staff to the gorgeous pod float rooms that are immaculately clean. This has to be THE best float centre I have ever visited. Float therapy is my definite go-to for relaxation. The best way I can reset and re-energize. I always walk out feeling like a brand new person and can’t wait to come back every time. Love love love!!

happeeslappee

Incredible massage and float combination experience

A fantastic experience, full body massage and float tank, can’t recommend it highly enough, a totally relaxing and amazing experience. Staff were awesome, made you feel relaxed and explained everything clearly!

Simon Kerr

Safe first float despite claustrophobia

Absolutely love this clinic! I was hesitant to do a float at first, as I can be quite claustrophobic. But the staff explained everything so well, showed me how to adjust the lights and open the lid and created such a safe environment. It’s been so amazing. So relaxing and great for pain, detox and calming the mind.

Melissa Faith

Unique float, clean private room, recommend

The float is a uniquely relaxing experience and it feels amazing on your body. Everything at Gravity was really clean, nicely fitted out and well considered. The shower is in the private room with the floatation pod and towels and toiletries are provided which was great. Definitely recommend!

Jennifer Perkins

Impeccably clean sauna with helpful staff

I recently visited this infrared sauna and had a fantastic experience. The facility was impeccably clean, making it a comfortable environment to relax in. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding me and my partner through the process and answering all my questions. The sauna itself was easy to use and provided a soothing experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and rejuvenate!

Heidi Anne

Amazing first float for pain and stress

First time floater, and the experience was so amazing. I tried floating to help with muscle pain and relaxation for stress. Afterwards I felt incredibly refreshed. Facilities are very clean and service from the staff was excellent. I’m hooked.

Michael Blunsden

Warm welcome and truly rejuvenating float

The service provided on arrival by Carly was fantastic, the relaxing environment & offering of tea or water, the place was inviting, the explanation of the process by Carly made me feel comfortable, relaxed and excited, the ease of it all, the experience in the float was fantastic, felt so relaxed and rejuvenated, totally recommend. The facilities offered and cleanliness of the rooms was excellent too. Thank you so much xx Kat xx

Katerina Mihelis

Immaculately clean, everything provided, five stars

Tried floating for the first time and while I don’t think floating is for me, this place deserves a 5 star for sure. My technician explained the process and what to expect when floating thoroughly. Everything was clean and dry, it was immaculate, not even a single hair or wet spot to be found on the floor. Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, towels, facial wipes, ear plugs, hair dryers etc all provided, you literally just need to rock up and enjoy the relaxing experience. For those who do enjoy floating this is the place to come!

S Lo

Best birthday gift, first float amazing

Went on my birthday, turns out to be the best thing I could gift myself as a treat. I did float therapy and it was my first time. I had an amazing experience. I highly recommend to everyone out there. Can’t wait to book another session. Thank you guys. ♥️♥️♥️

Rahul Gajmer

Infrared sauna left me deeply rejuvenated

I’ve been using the infrared sauna at Gravity Float as part of my regular wellness routine, and it’s been a game-changer. It’s incredibly relaxing and leaves me feeling rejuvenated. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their self-care regimen.

Angela Bergin

Monthly float indulgence that keeps me sane

Great unique experience. It’s like floating when I come out after the float session. Gravity are friendly knowledgeable and the facility is well presented and inviting. A monthly indulgence that helps keep me sane!

Gino Vairo

First massage felt relaxing and soothing

Angela was aware that it was my first ever massage and it was a wonderfully relaxing and soothing experience. I can thoroughly recommend this peaceful enjoyable time.

Richard Heazlewood-Ross

Best float centre in twenty years

Great water temp, good buoyancy in the tank and good vibes all around. The infrared sauna was awesome, well set out. Probably the best float centre I’ve been to in my 20 years of floating. Highly recommend.

Tessa George

Caring service and a great ambience

It was a great experience. Ambience, great customer service by Georgia. She was so caring, professional and knowledgeable. Thanks again. Staci

Staci Mariolis

Professional welcome, clean space, affordable deals

Went for my first float session yesterday. What a wonderful experience! Professional and kind welcome from staff, clean and tidy store, love that they offer deals to make it more affordable. Will definitely be back.

Najara R

Game-changing calm for anxiety and OCD

Floatation therapy has been a game changer for helping cope with anxiety and OCD. It is an activity that allows my brain to rest and give me calm and peace. The one hour float feels like an uninterrupted 8 hours sleep. Let me not forget to also thank all of the staff as they have been accommodating and understanding, not to mention extremely welcoming, when I finally felt comfortable to discuss my reasons for seeking out their facility and services. Thank you to everyone I have interacted with at Gravity.

Noremac Lleb

Clean, calming float space with friendly staff

Lovely float space in Northcote. Staff really friendly, young guy has been there the last two times I’ve been and he’s chatty but also calm. The float itself is well ventilated, perfect temperature. The facility is clean, private and provides that so needed detox. Thanks Gravity!

Kate Retter

Friendly staff and NDIS makes it affordable

Been to Gravity Float several times now and every experience has been excellent. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. The float pods and rooms are well taken care of and clean. They’re also now NDIS providers which makes it a lot more affordable for me and others on the NDIS to go more regularly. (The casual prices are still good if you’re not on the NDIS). I would highly recommend going to Gravity Float and I look forward to more appointments in the future.

Sam Yeates

First float eased neck and shoulder stiffness

Just had my first session. Carly was so friendly and informative. The experience was highly relaxing and really helped to alleviate stiffness in my neck and shoulders. Look forward to the next session.

Sonia B

No pushy sales, gentle helpful guidance

I’ve been to other float spaces that try to sell you packages whilst you’re super zonked out afterwards. It’s not nice being constantly barraged as a consumer online let alone offline whilst vulnerable. This space did not do that. The add ons were gently mentioned, which I appreciated, as well as the signage in the rooms explaining the sequential procedure of the experiences. Float tank, infrared – but I forgot to ask if you need to expose all of your skin to get the full benefits, or if laying/sitting in one spot is good enough. All in all, I enjoyed the space and would recommend. The inclusive take home ear plugs was a nice surprise and maybe worth an advertised mention too. Thank you

William Guarnaccia

Beautiful aesthetics and professional accommodating staff

The aesthetics of the Gravity location were wonderful. The float experience was enjoyable. Staff member was professional and accommodating.

Michael Edwards

Kind induction, beautiful space, joined membership

Beautiful atmosphere in the store, Caitlin was really kind, slowing down my nerves and explaining how to float, which I loved. I signed up for membership today so looking forward to coming back.

Marcos Susini

Calming atmosphere with spotless facilities and massage

Gravity Float and Wellness Centre deserves a 10/10. The atmosphere is incredibly calming, and the facilities are spotless and comfortable. The float therapy was deeply relaxing, leaving me feeling refreshed and clear-headed. The staff were professional, friendly, and made the experience seamless. The wellness treatments, especially the massage, were top-notch. Overall, the experience was excellent value for money, and I’ll definitely be back!

Brayden Gant

Private shower and peaceful infrared sauna

Went for an infrared sauna – affordable and loved that you had your own private shower for afterwards. Music easy to set up and all felt clean and peaceful – will be back

Florence Morphy

Extraordinary attendant and impeccable spa feel

The attendant Isabella is extraordinary. I really loved her manner and her sharing of knowledge. She is clearly highly skilled in people industries, an absolute delight! The centre is impeccably clean and has a wonderful day spa feel to it. I will continue to patron Gravity as I am experiencing clear benefits, after a long time feeling less than my best, I am beginning to feel more like myself again

Shariann G

Sublime first float with lasting benefits

My first ever, but definitely not my last float. Absolutely sublime, could hear my heart beating! So relaxing, a fabulous experience. My massage with Finn was the icing on the cake. Am still feeling the benefits two days later. Thank you so much. I will be back. The long drive from Dandenong and back was worth it.
