Your trainer. Your schedule. Any location.
Lifelong Fitness — Now Fully Virtual
Whether you're a busy professional with no time to commute, an older adult who prefers the comfort of home, a caregiver who can't get out, a remote worker with no consistent gym access, or someone who simply lives far from quality fitness resources — Filley Fit was built for you.
We offer live, real-time personal training sessions conducted entirely over video call. Every session is one-on-one, led by Derek Filley (Exercise Physiologist, Ohio State), and tailored to your individual goals, physical condition, and schedule.
No gym membership. No commute. No compromises.
Real-time, one-on-one sessions with Derek over video. Not pre-recorded. Not a workout app. A real trainer, fully present, every session.
Early morning, lunch break, or after bedtime — sessions flex around your life, wherever you are in the world.
A full physical assessment, tailored programming, and ongoing adjustments based on your progress. Research-based methods, always individualized.

Meet Derek Filley
Exercise Physiologist. Ohio State graduate. San Diego-based, virtually everywhere else.
Derek founded Filley Fit in 2020 on the belief that great personal training shouldn't depend on geography. Since going fully virtual, he has helped clients across the country build strength, manage pain, improve mobility, and commit to a lifestyle of consistent, healthy movement.
Specialized Support for Adults 55+
Aging well is one of the most important fitness goals there is — and one that Derek has dedicated much of his career to. Filley Fit's virtual format is especially well-suited for older adults who want expert guidance without the barriers of transportation or unfamiliar gym environments.
Programs focus on strength, balance, fall prevention, pain management, and long-term independence — all delivered live, from the comfort of home.
Anna N. — Training from home, on her terms
I am a fairly fit 72-year-old woman whose normal exercise includes yoga and walking. I have osteoporosis, a hip alignment problem that is corrected monthly by a chiropractor, and a history of frozen shoulder. During the height of the pandemic, through inactivity, I lost a lot of whatever fitness I previously had. My upper body and gluteal strength and appearance were noticeably diminished. I have been working with Derek for only about 2 ½ months, twice a week, and I am noticeably stronger, more energetic, and even look a bit more toned. The “normal” aches and pains of aging seem to have almost disappeared and I am even enjoying yard work, previously not my favorite thing, because I feel so good. After an initial intake session, which included a thorough interview and physical assessments, Derek customized a program for me, which he updates after each session and modifies appropriately if I inform him of any unusual soreness. Derek is 100% with me as I do each exercise, running alongside me, giving encouragement and additional tips as we go along, and providing spotting or physical support with weights, when I need it. I am also learning a lot about personal health and exercise physiology because Derek has such a strong education in these areas. I have never before enjoyed exercising in the gym and know I would not have ever gotten into a good routine if not for working with Derek, who makes it all a lot of fun and who feels like a good friend.
