Functional Training Institute Global

Functional Training institute (FTI) is a global fitness education company that helps fitness professionals, coaches, and personal trainers MASTER functional training, movement, and injury prevention.

Founded in 2009 in Sydney, Australia by Tarek Chouja and Daniel Henderson, FTI worked with some of the best movement specialists globally, acquiring a cutting edge education in movement that blends practical knowledge with an evidence-based approach. 

FTI eventually became known for innovating the fitness industry with the first accredited kettlebell and battling ropes courses in Australia under the then, Fitness Australia (now Aus Active).

 FTI evolved their movement based concepts to create a unique system around functional training called the Adaptive Functional Training Systems (Adaptive FTS).

 Now over 5,000 fitness professionals, coaches, and personal trainers across 15 countries worldwide have been educated in these unique functional training systems through FTI’s programs that are accredited by international organisations.

 FTI continues to help fitness professionals, coaches, and personal trainers become certified experts in functional training and movement through their TWO flagship programs – Master Functional Trainer and Movement Restoration Coach, and a whole host of certified courses.
