Mission Statement

NESTA, National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association, is a professional association dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship and business development for fitness and wellness professionals. Our commitment is to provide top quality training and unique business options, coupled with progressive thinking. Our ongoing dedication provides our client/member, who aspires to reach his/her full potential, with the building blocks for enhanced business and personal success.

Philosophy

Our approach to wellness professional education is a three pronged approach – personal skills, business skills, and practical skills.

We feel that personal development in conjunction with business development must be aligned with specific skills directly pertinent to the member’s area of interest. Because of this fact, NESTA has developed specific business tools, programs and services to enhance the wellness professional’s life as a whole in addition to developing skills to offer a wider array of services and business options.

As our mission statement exemplifies, NESTA is committed to assisting and guiding members with a comprehensive approach to operating a wellness business, not simply earning a certification.
