At In-Tension Training, our mission is to empower hardworking and opportunistic individuals through accessible, high-quality training that supports both athletic performance and holistic well-being. Founded in 2019 by South High School alumni Jenesis Fonder and Roy Palmer, our vision was born from firsthand experience with the lack of affordable fitness options. We are committed to breaking down those barriers by offering comprehensive programs that enhance physical performance, build healthier lifestyles, and foster a strong sense of community and connection. What started as a Minneapolis business has grown far and wide through our dedication to the mission. At In-Tension, we train with purpose — and we grow together.
