Services
Derby Method has been delivering results and creating lasting relationships with clients since its establishment in southern Vermont in 2014. My goal is to create exciting individual programs that address the personal goals of each client while providing them with exercises that will help to lessen chronic pain and reduce the risk of injury.
All in person and virtual training also includes diet coaching and exercise programs. After an in-depth initial assessment and goal setting session (free of charge) I will develop a training program that will deliver the results you want to see while making sure the body is moving and functioning in a healthy way.
Derby Method is committed to providing all individuals equal access to information on this website, including those with disabilities. We are continuously monitoring and actively updating our website to make it as accessible as possible.

Derby Method has changed my life!
I am so much healthier and happier with my body (image), fitness routine, strength, stamina and and approach to food/nutrition.
I lost fat and gained muscle in a very short time and now look forward to working out - which had not been the case in my 7 years at Equinox gym. (It's a very nice gym, but my workouts were inconsistent and not effective, nor did I take into account the nutritional aspect of my health regimen.)
Sean Derby personalizes each workout so you will never get bored; he has a great personality, seemingly infinite knowledge about health

I’ve had many personal trainers over the years and I can honestly say no one had the technical ability and genuine care that I experienced with Sean. His ability to communicate, help me hit all my goals, and fine tune the workout to meet my needs was simply unparalleled. This guy will someday change the fitness game, for now, I’m lucky to know him while he’s affordable!

I've been working with Sean for about 4 months now and could not be happier with my results! I have a number of medical issues that make working out exceptionally hard, and Sean has been so accommodating, patient, and encouraging. I never thought I would become a "gym person" but I genuinely look forward to our sessions!

Sean is definitely the best and most knowledgeable trainer that I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. His workouts are fun and effective. He has even found creative ways for me to work around some of my injuries. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family.

Sean has changed my entire view of personal trainers - nobody has ever taken the time to really ask me what my definition of strength and beauty is, and then helped me create new health practices for LONGEVITY. Sean has helped me make a lifelong change - I look at fitness and food so differently - I feel proud of my body and what it's capable of doing. I cannot recommend him enough. Sean cares. Sean listens. He is a true health professional. I trust him completely.

Derby Method has been a fantastic experience for my personal fitness and health goals. Sean is an amazing trainer, listens and understands what I want to achieve, works with me on my movements and form, and also understands my limitations so my workouts are productive and conducive to my own abilities. He is extremely knowledgeable. Could not be more happy that I found Derby Method, I feel fitter and stronger, and would recommend Sean to anyone.

I have had numerous personal trainers over the years. By far and without exception, Sean is the top of the food chain when it comes to personal trainers. I have been training with Sean for over five years and not only have i obtained what I initially set as my goal, he is always introducing new work outs (to keep it fresh) as he continually fine tunes the work out to ensure not only to maintain what my body has changed into, and also to ensure that the benefits I have derived from having him as my personal trainer continue so as to the bar constantly changes to way and above what my goals were
