The Enso Difference
At Enso Float we take pride in providing the safest and most sanitary floatation therapy environment possible. From our non-slip floors and walk-in cabins, to our state-of-the-art filtration systems, you’ll find the little things make a big difference.
We’re thrilled to carry the latest models of tanks and cabins from Floataway Co. We feature two circular 8′ Floataround tanks and three 6’ x 8’ Cabins. These Floatarounds are the same tanks found at the Laureate Institute of Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
We’re in the Lexis Building located right across from Tanner-Springs Park on the corner of NW 10th & Marshall.
