The NESTA-PFT exam, officially titled NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer (NESTA-PFT), is the Fitness exam you pass to earn the Personal Fitness Trainer certification, a credential at the Entry-level / Associate level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as NESTA Fitness Nutrition Specialist, NESTA Group Fitness Instructor, NESTA Weight Management Specialist.

The NESTA-PFT exam includes 120 (100 scored, 20 unscored pretest items) questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the NESTA-PFT exam is 71% (71 out of 100 scored questions), and the official registration fee is $349 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $349 USD again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

Fitness lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the NESTA-PFT exam: High school diploma or equivalent; current CPR/AED certification. Requirements can change over time, so confirm the details on the official exam page at Fitness's official site before you register.
