Ebb & Float is a social wellness club in downtown Columbus offering infrared sauna and cold plunge services alongside float therapy and massage. Guests specifically note the availability of the cold plunge and sauna as features they intend to try. The venue provides private, full-spectrum infrared sauna rooms that utilize near, medium, and far-range infrared light to heat the body from the inside out, offering a dry heat experience without steam, fire, or hot rocks. This service is highlighted as a key offering for recovery and restoration. Beyond the sauna and cold plunge, the venue specializes in sensory-deprivation float therapy, available in both cabin and tank styles, with the cabin recommended for beginners. The float experience is designed to be relaxing and restorative, with guests reporting reduced pain. The process is meticulously planned, with ambient zen music and colored lights within the pod. The facility is noted for being well-sanitized. Additional services include massage therapy from licensed therapists and pre- or post-session use of massage chairs. The atmosphere is described as beautiful, zen, and tranquil, with a lounge area for guests to reorient themselves.
