Today we’d like to introduce you to Tavon Bookman.
Hi Tavon, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My name is Tavon and I am from the Bronx, NY. I was born in the inner city and growing up was not an easy journey. I was fortunate enough to go to a KIPP school in the Bronx that helped prepare me and my mindset for what I wanted to achieve. Growing up humble the way I did has helped me look at everything in my life as an opportunity and remain in a constant growth mindset.
From there, I earned a 4-year scholarship opportunity to attend the prestigious Northfield Mount Hermon Boarding School in Massachusetts. I learned how to master my mindset and set a high standard of excellence for myself. I was a three-sport athlete in high school, and continued on to play Division 1 College Basketball for Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT. I studied Business Management while at Sacred Heart and I have worked in a managerial role in the boutique health and fitness industry for the past 5 years. I am a goal-oriented, problem-solving leader with demonstrated success in sales, membership sales, retention, lead generation, training, studio operations, social media, and business to business partnerships in the different positions I’ve held during the past 5 years.
I am currently the Franchise Manager of Icebox East Cobb in Marietta, GA and have been with Icebox for two years now. Our East Cobb location is the number 1 Icebox studio in the country! Come see what all the hype is about and bring a friend with you!
Helping and connecting with people has always been a passion of mine throughout my journey. I am also an athlete and I train 5-7 days per week and that is how I came to the decision to manage health and fitness studios as it allows me to do a little of both. I started my journey working at Orangetheory Fitness Cumberland in Atlanta back in 2017 and have managed several other fitness gyms in the Greater Atlanta Area over the past several years. I decided to move into the wellness space after becoming a client of Icebox first and the results were night and day.
Icebox Cryotherapy East Cobb is an innovative cryotherapy spa that specializes in pain management, athletic recovery, and beauty & wellness. Whole Body Cryotherapy is a 3-minute dry, cold treatment that flushes your entire body from internal inflammation. It will cause a rejuvenating endorphin rush, help your body respond quicker against muscle aches & pains, and purify your skin from this inside out!
I have been using cryotherapy 3-5 times a week for the last two years and my performance in the gym has increased in all areas, my sleep has improved, and ultimately my body has never felt better. Our studio is equipped with all of the essentials you will need for your visits including robes, socks, warm gloves, and you get to listen to your favorite song during your treatment.
As a manager at Icebox, I have watched firsthand as our members of all ages and genders have benefited from the effects of cryotherapy in their lives. The best part about what I get to do each day is watching members develop hope for a better quality of life because of Icebox. Whether it is because they have had serious skin problems or troubled with older age and minor/major injuries that have set them back temporarily, Icebox has been a bright spot in their lives.
Icebox East Cobb has so much to offer to the Greater Atlanta Area and most of all, you deserve it! Cryotherapy has been around since 1978 and for the greater period of the last 40 years it has been utilized by professional athletes, celebrities, and actors alike; however we are here so that everyday people like you and me can enjoy the same benefits! It was created to help treat autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and we know that it benefits any autoimmune disease as well as helping with collagen production, stress & anxiety, sleep, and athletic recovery!
Icebox East Cobb opened in Parkaire Landing in July of 2021 and we are here to give you the BEST 3 minutes of your day! Tell a friend to tell a friend, and book yourselves a relaxing, refreshing freeze and squeeze with us and we’ll take care of the rest!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It has been an amazing journey for us getting to this point! We are currently operating as the number 1 Icebox Cryotherapy Studio in the nation and we are very proud of that. We have been open for just over eight months now. We were initially supposed to open back in 2019, but our progress was halted due to COVID and the aftermath. After delaying our opening process by just about two full years, we were able to find a home in Parkaire Landing and open our doors to the public!
We are the only Cryotherapy Studio in all of Marietta, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. Our staff is highly trained, knowledgeable, and ready to provide you the best customer service every time you come visit us!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Icebox Cryotherapy East Cobb?
Cryotherapy is a modern take on the traditional ice bath and involves exposing the body for 3 minutes to ultra-low temperatures, ranging from -200F to -256F. Whole body cryotherapy reduces chronic inflammation, improves circulation, relieves pain, and promotes overall better health and wellness!
The cryo session is only 3 minutes long, but it’ll be the best 3 minutes of your day! The first appointment with Icebox can take about 30 minutes because we like to fully educate our guests and help with any questions they may have. After the first appointment, typically an Icebox guests can get in and out in 12-15 minutes. Guests typically experience a rush of endorphins, making you feel good & more energetic! Also, many guests experience less pain after cryo, which is caused by the flush of inflammation in the body. Cryo can improve sleep, and some guests feel the first impact the next morning after a sleep cycle.
In addition to the beauty benefits received from Whole Body Cryotherapy, such as increased collagen production and reduced cellulite, Icebox East Cobb also offers CryoBeauty services that effectively reduce wrinkles, tighten and tone skin, melt fat, and leave you looking and feeling your best!
The Icebox Team takes pride in their passion and knowledge for Cryotherapy and all its health benefits that help our clients look and feel their absolute best. All our staff go through initial in-studio training and continued education and testing to ensure they are educated. Many of our team members come from a health and wellness background, which helps them connect and relate to our clients. At Icebox East Cobb, we look forward to working with you and your health, wellness and beauty goals.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of books about personal growth & development and they have played a huge role in my efficacy as a manager and the success I’ve achieved with Icebox and other health & wellness studios. I also have been fortunate to speak to and learn from a lot of highly motivated, inspiring individuals who have taught me a lot about how to execute.
