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.

Empowering fitness professionals to transform lives is our mission

Izabelli Ambrozio

CEO & Co-Founder

Izabelli Ambrozio, born in Pato Branco, Paraná, is a nurse specialized in sports medicine and fitness, certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM™). After almost seven years in the United States, where she worked as a personal trainer and volunteer coach, she founded Izabelli Ambrozio Personal Trainer, offering personalized online training. Observing the lack of knowledge about NASM™ techniques in Brazil, she translated the educational material and founded Ambrozio’s Institute International Fitness and Wellness, the only institution in Brazil authorized to commercialize the NASM™ certificate. Guided by her Christian faith, Izabelli is dedicated to saving lives and promoting health and well-being.

  • Testimonials about us

    • I was a flight attendant and I researched and saw that NASM is a reference in the USA, Europe, and Canada. This is very cool and opens up many opportunities for me, and you can see how big this market is. I want to help people, and with NASM's reputation, I can do that in many places around the world. I asked friends in the healthcare field in the USA, and they said that if I work there, I have to choose the best, and I recommend NASM. He said that the gym he goes to requires certification from NASM. Even before I finish the certification, many clients already wanted to hire me.

      Former flight attendant, future personal trainer

    • NASM has a training methodology called Optimum Performance Training that helps me maintain my athletes, meaning it aids in keeping their self-performance and reducing injuries, and it also opened up the possibility for me to work in countries like the United States and Europe. The OPT model helps personal trainers create customized exercises for all their clients, removing the guesswork from programming.

      Vinicius Lima

      Athlete physical trainer

    • This course is totally different; we have a protocol and a sequence, and it has scientific evidence, so it's much easier to create an effective workout without the fear of injuring the client. Using this methodology, my training becomes much more effective. In today's globalized world, having a certification that qualifies me in over 100 countries means I don't need to work in person. This opens infinite doors for me. I can have access to Dubai, prescribe workouts there, and earn in dollars without leaving home.

      Kelly Niglio

      Running coach

    • NASM is absolutely the best! I couldn't feel more confident about the education I am implementing with my clients. Having grown up with NASM over the years, I am very proud to see its constant evolution. They have put me with the best, high-level education - it's current and relevant. There is no denying that NASM is always striving to produce the best of the best with its fitness professionals, with their continuous efforts for exceptional education.

      Maricris Lapaix

      Creator of Busy Bodies Jumpstart Transformations

    • Certification is very science-based, in every paragraph of the course you see 1 or 2 publications, it is very interesting. I have a conscious euphoria now after finishing the course. I can talk in the same language as oncologists, cardiologists, physiotherapists, and when I mention the National Academy of Sports Medicine, they already know the quality and international respect of the certification.

      João Luis

      Aquafitness Specialist & Entrepreneur

    • As a fitness professional, our business is to help people achieve their fitness goals. Moreover, the NASM is the gold standard in the industry in my eyes. When I see NASM on a job application, I know that candidate wants to grow in the field and has a solid foundation. The NASM Optimum Performance Training® (OPT) model is a very flexible and adaptable system that can be used for any client in any environment with any fitness condition and create personalized exercises for all of your clients.

      Robert McCullough

      UFC Gym Senior Director of MMA and Former WEC World Champion

    • I learned about the Ambrozios institute's work precisely because of NASM's recommendation. With the OPT™ methodology, I learned how to serve clients with pathologies, specific clients, any type of client, and also how to work with international audiences. I learned the difference in training approach and even in practice with international clients. This gave me the confidence and scientific foundation to serve my clients without fear.

    • When you choose NASM you can say: This was the best choice of my life, now you can earn in dollars and reach other countries. It is a great investment to make and I can realize the dream of working in the United States.
