I believe it's an administrative discharge and I dont think it has a huge effect on your future. From the instruction:
b. Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). The Navy assesses
personal physical fitness via a semi-annual PFA (see enclosure
(1)). The PFA includes a medical screen, a body composition
assessment (BCA) and physical readiness test (PRT) (see
enclosure (1)). The medical screening includes the annual
periodic health assessment (PHA), a semi-annual NAVPERS 6110/3
Physical Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire (PARFQ), and prephysical
activity questions (see enclosure (1)). The BCA is
based upon height and weight tables and circumference
measurements, when required. The PRT is a series of physical
events that assess cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular
strength, and endurance. Physical fitness standards should be
maintained constantly and consistently, not solely at the time
of semi-annual testing.
c. Failure to Meet PFA Standards. Meeting minimum PFA
standards are a condition of continued naval service. Members
with PFA failures will be subject to administrative actions.
Members failing to meet BCA or PRT standards shall participate
in an FEP. Members failing to meet PFA standards three times in
the most recent 4-year period shall be processed for
administrative separation (ADSEP) from the Navy.

Any discharge takes time so no it won't be immediately. Anything other than an honorable discharge can effect your future. It also depends on what type of civilian job you're looking at though and whether or not they give you a chance to explain your discharge.

i did not think of they have been doing waivers for PFA mess ups anymore. reckoning on how lots time you have left on your settlement or earlier your PRD, you may get to stay in a minimum of that lots longer.
