iCRYO SEES BREAKTHROUGH IN WELLNESS AS Global DEMAND FOR CRYOTHERAPY & RECOVERY SERVICES BECOME ACCESSIBLE
iCRYO, one the world’s largest recovery and wellness franchises, is setting the standard for health and wellness nationwide as the global demand for cryotherapy and recovery services become accessible.
on a mission to put consumers in control of their health, iCryo wellness centers focus on a series of health related recovery services that target pain management, beauty & antiaging, athletic recovery, and overall wellness.
Currently, their franchise model is over 250 locations awarded with a plan to build over 1,000 locations in several different countries.
The Houston-based company’s resilience throughout the pandemic and consistent growth since 2015 has positioned them to open additional regional offices in Dallas and Loveland, Colorado, as the premium health care franchise gears up for its next growth phase.
As cryotherapy and other wellness services are now becoming easily accessible to everyone, consumers are educating themselves on everything that is available to optimize their health. In fact, according to recent reports, the global cryotherapy market size was valued at USD 3.8 billion in 2022, and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% from 2022 to 2028.
Offering easily accessible lifestyle and specialty based services such as cryotherapy, IV infusions, Vitamin Shots, body sculpting, PBM Red Light Therapy, Infrared Saunas, Compression therapy, and Dry Float, iCRYO is a premium healthcare franchise system that is shifting how people recover and take care of their health.
While cryotherapy began mainly as a celebrity and athlete-only wellness trend, its wide range of benefits, including boosting immunity, increasing serotonin, tightening skin cells, and increasing blood circulation, has appealed to the masses.
“As we continue to expand our corporate team and plan for multi-country expansion, we are very excited to be positioning ourselves for the next phase of growth,” says Kyle Jones, COO and Co-founder of iCRYO. “We were at the forefront of this emerging industry that took off tremendously in the past few years, and now iCRYO is expected to have over 40 units open at the end of 2022 and triple its growth to 120 locations in 2023.”
Kyle found his passion in health and wellness after pursuing his college career as a football player and graduating from Texas State University with a degree in Exercise Sports Science and Business Management. He is a 2x National Powerlifting Champion with NASA and USAPL and achieved his pro card in physique bodybuilding with the NSL. This led him to spearheading the development of the emerging category and establishing the premium healthcare franchise system.
As Kyle opened the first iCRYO location, he leaned on the mentors in his life for guidance as he was still a young adult with minimal years of business experience. His father, Bill Jones, CEO/CFO and Cofounder of iCRYO, had always played a huge role in his life as that one person he could lean on for anything. Bill had a vast background in business management. After spending some time picking Kyles’s brain about what the vision of iCRYO was for years to come, he realized the diamond in the rough that Kyle had his hands on. Bill’s background goes back decades of being with companies that scaled to hundreds of locations and owning several businesses that worked in all 50 states. His network and knowledge to scale were a huge part of where he envisioned iCRYO could go.
iCRYO launched in October of 2015 and is continuously setting the standard for the cryotherapy industry. Eager to give back to those who serve the community, Bill Jones developed the iCRYO American Hero Franchise Program to create more jobs for Americans, offering 35% off the iCRYO franchise fee and 6 months free of royalty fees for veterans, active military, and 1st Responders. With a fully integrated franchise model, iCRYO has the systems and training to support franchisees in bringing the iCRYO experience to their community in a retail place, or as an addition to a current business.
The iCRYO team comprises of experienced negotiators with over 25 years of experience in construction, and will oversee a franchisee’s project from start to finish. The team also offers a comprehensive cryotherapy training program including classroom-style cryotherapy and franchise training, operations and management training, pre-open training onsite at the franchisee’s location, and ongoing world-class support. iCRYO’s cryotherapy and IV therapy franchise program offers strong marketing support with thorough pre-opening strategies and post-opening and ongoing advertising support.
Seeking franchisees that are passionate about the cryotherapy industry and have a desire to help others, iCRYO provides franchisees ongoing equipment and service training to all of their center locations, with multiple systems in place that ensure the safety of all guests and employees.
Elevating the lifestyle of their team members and guests by providing affordable, convenient, and professional
recovery and wellness services, iCRYO, recently partnered with fitness industry leader 24 Hour Fitness to provide multiple health and wellness services in 24 Hour Fitness club locations. This partnership is part of a larger 24 Hour Fitness strategy to continue exploring and offering dynamic fitness and wellness experiences for club members.
The company’s ‘Start Feeling Better Today,’ mantra is fueling the masses who are seeking preventative health and recovery care options.
“Cryotherapy is a billion dollar industry that grows year over year with professional recovery and wellness projections climbing,” says Jones.
“As an established leader in the category, iCRYO offers a turn-key business opportunity that allows entrepreneurs to invest in the future of health and technology.”
