Our Journey with the National Academy of Sports Medicine™
In 2019, our CEO obtained the certification as a personal trainer in the United States from the renowned National Academy of Sports Medicine™ (NASM™).
In 2020, upon returning to Brazil, she decided, under divine guidance, to translate the NASM™ certification book.
In 2022, after a year and a half of hard work in translating NASM™ materials, our CEO reached out to the American company with the objective of establishing a partnership to launch the product and the company in Brazil, recognizing the potential and the country's need in this segment.
NASM™, recognizing the business potential, promptly responded. We initiated a series of meetings to align expectations, considering that for over 10 years, NASM™ had plans to invest in the country. After our CEO presented the plans, it was concluded that the strategy was aligned with NASM™'s objectives to bring certifications to Brazil.
After several meetings for understanding and planning, it was decided to create the company "Ambrozio’s Institute International Fitness and Wellness" with the aim of implementing the American model of OPT certification and training in Brazil. This would provide Brazilians with the opportunity to obtain a certification from the world's largest and most renowned fitness company.
