Tension
Women's strength training studio · 1 location · Brooklyn: Williamsburg
A women's-only strength studio in Williamsburg, classes capped at twelve, programming written by its founder. Kristie Larson signed a ten-year lease to open it, with no outside investor on record — and she says she intends to build past this one studio.
The Big Picture
Tension opened one Williamsburg studio in March 2026 with one LLC behind it and no outside investor on any record — its founder signed a ten-year lease rather than taking capital, and says she intends to build past this location. As a studio this new and this small, it has generated almost no public record on pay, environmental practice, or sourcing to weigh. The verdict rests on an ownership structure that answers to Kristie Larson and her members.
