Pure Sweat + Float Studio

I absolutely love Pure Sweat + Float Studio! It’s my go-to wellness studio in DC for sauna sessions. The staff is always welcoming and kind, the boutique gift options are adorable, and most importantly, the studio is clean, relaxing, and beautifully ambient. The infrared saunas are hot and spacious, and each private room includes a TV for music or viewing, customizable colored lighting for ambiance, and a eucalyptus towel for cooling down afterward. My favorite things to do in the sauna are dry brushing or stretching — it’s the perfect reset. I haven’t tried floating yet, but it’s definitely on my list. I highly recommend Pure Sweat to anyone looking for an elevated, calming wellness experience in DC.

My first time floating was a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, restorative and meditative experience. The staff I interacted with (Sarah and Lindsey) were really amazing, and they made sure I got the most out of the whole experience. Sarah explained everything thoroughly and provided me with everything I needed to relax. I also appreciated the various settings available for the float and I loved the variety of organic health products (Irish sea moss, elderberry supplements, essential oils) available for sale on the premises. This place feels like a safe, clean and welcoming environment and definitely worth a try if you are new to floating!

I had my first infrared sauna session at Pure Sweat and went back a week or two later because I enjoyed it so much. I opted for the pink and yellow lights to eliminate impurities from the blood stream + purify my skin. The rooms are entirely private and accommodate up to two guests. You can listen to the calm app or watch television. Towels and work out accessories are also provided for an extra sweat. I brought my water bottle to stay hydrated but beverages + electrolytes are available for purchase in the studio. They have a cute recovery area complete with hair tools and skin care which was a nice touch! The owner is LOVELY can’t wait for my next visit.

I love this place and fully intend on being an ongoing customer. I wanted to offer some suggestions in the form of a review so that it makes it to the right place 🙂 — 1. It would be SO lovely if we could connect our own music while in the floating tank. That would elevate the experience to me 10 fold. Also, as much as I appreciate the toiletries, combs, and hair-ties etc - I wish there was more consideration for ethnic hair. The provided combs aren’t easy for us to use in our hair and while we can bring our own, that’s not inclusive. Maybe disposable hair caps could be a nice addition for the curly hair girlies. Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll be back! 🙂

I was able to book the 40 min float session earlier this week and my experience was a 10/10. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and offered complimentary tea. The young lady who escorted me to the float room took her time to explain the process to me. My float experience took me about 2 mins to get use to but after that I was able to relax and clear my mind. My session seemed longer than 40 mins due to when you're floating there seems to be no sense of time. In the float room you get a full size shower with spa amenities to clean off before and after your session. The facility is very clean and hygienic but still had a touch of warmth. I hardly recommend if youre in the DC area to book a session.

I love this place! The space is super clean, very peaceful, and a perfect way to unwind. The individual saunas are private and have everything you need for a calming 45 minutes to yourself. Each sauna has a tv, speakers in the sauna for tv or music, bands, massage balls, etc. You can also adjust the heat in the sauna to the perfect temperature for you. The staff is great - very nice and easygoing.

I am so impressed with the client experience from the greeting, tour, kindness, the smell and just being immersed in the space. The sauna service was as advertised and made better by the staff's knowledge of my preferred temp and warming it before I entered. Additionally, I like how I could control the temperature and had access to multiple media modalities during the sauna. One area that would improve my experience would be to have one more towel for head/neck support and sweat relief when lying down-- or even sweat head band.
