Packages · prepaid, no commitment

Buy a few sessions.Plan ahead. No subscription.

Packages are prepaid bundles of sessions you use at your own pace. No monthly bill, no auto-renew, just a small discount for buying ahead. Try a sampler, build a sauna habit, or bring a friend along.

No commitment

Pay once. Use when you can.

Packages are a single charge for a fixed number of sessions. No three-month minimum, no recurring billing, when the credits run out, you decide whether to buy another or not.

Easy planning

A few sessions, ready when you are.

Packages keep a small rhythm of care waiting for you, without a monthly membership or recurring bill.

⏱
60-day window

A nudge, not a cage.

Most packages have a 60-day use window. Long enough to fit a real practice into your calendar, short enough to keep things from gathering dust. Check each Boulevard listing for its start date.

Which side of the line are you on?

Buy a package if

You're trying things out.

You want to sample a modality, give a thoughtful gift, or treat yourself a few times without a recurring charge on the card. Packages are the right shape for occasional use.

  • First time floating
  • Travel-heavy month or season
  • Gifting someone a few sessions
  • Stacking sauna for a 6-week project
  • Once-or-twice-a-month rhythm
Get a membership if

You want a monthly promise to yourself.

If you're already coming 4+ times a month, the membership math wins by a wide margin and you get member rates, monthly credits, and sharing options on select plans. Memberships are the rhythm-keepers.

  • Weekly float habit
  • Daily-ish sauna or RLT
  • Couples sharing Signature Wellness
  • Recovery built into training week
  • All-in on Unlimited Wellness
Ground rules

How packages work

Single person, single account
Packages are for one person unless explicitly noted. Sessions can't be split between accounts or shared with a friend (the Bring-a-Friend add-on is the exception).
Clear expiration windows
The Intro package expires 60 days after first use, sauna packs expire 60 days after purchase, and the Studio Collection runs 90 days after first use.
Non-refundable, non-swappable
Once purchased, packages can't be refunded, exchanged, or converted into different services. Credits cannot be redeemed for cash, retail, or other modalities.
Reservations required
Book online through Boulevard or by phone. Same-day slots happen, but they aren't guaranteed.
Limit one Studio Collection & Intro per customer
The Studio Collection and Intro to Floating are once-per-person. Sauna packages can be re-purchased anytime.
Tip not included
Massage gratuity isn't bundled into the Studio Collection price, handled at the appointment, like any other massage.

I recommend Arete often to friends and clients as a haven for self care and restorative experiences.

FAQ

Six things people ask.

  • Most packages are single-person. The Bring a Friend to Sauna add-on is the only built-in way to share, pair it with one of your sauna sessions to bring a guest. If you're both regulars, Signature Wellness can be shared with one designated person.

  • Any unused credits expire. We don't refund or roll them over (the Studio Collection runs 90 days instead of 60). Set a cadence that helps you use the sessions comfortably within that window.

  • No. Package pricing is its own lane. Once you're a member, member rates on additional sessions usually make more sense than buying extra packages, so most members don't double-up.

  • Yes. All packages can be gifted except Intro to Floating, which is reserved for first-time customers only.

  • No. Packages are non-refundable and non-transferable. If something serious comes up, email theteam@floatarete.com, we handle hardship cases on a case-by-case basis but it's never automatic.

  • The Studio Collection, Intro to Floating, and the 8- and 12-session sauna packs are available in Boulevard right now. Anything else is clearly marked unavailable on this page.
