Who we are
The National Strength and Functional Training Academy (NSFTA) was founded by Erik Schreiber, a veteran coach with over 20 years of experience in personal training, strength and conditioning, and fitness leadership.
Erik built NSFTA with one goal in mind — to raise the standard of what it means to be a fitness professional. Tired of certifications that lacked real-world application, Erik created an educational platform that bridges the gap between knowledge and practice.
At NSFTA, everything is rooted in experience. The programs and methods you’ll find here, including the flagship Integrated Six Pillars™ Programming Course, are built to work in actual gym settings with real clients — from beginners to athletes to older adults.
Whether you're a new trainer or a seasoned professional, NSFTA will help you train with confidence, lead with clarity, and deliver real results.
This isn’t theory. This is training built to translate.
