EDUCATION
EDUCATION/TRAINING Philosophy
To improve at something, one needs to practice. Therefore, to be a better Bike Fitter, one needs to do more Bike Fits. - Paul Swift

Your "real world" Environment
Paul Swift and the staff at Bike Fit Systems know that a real world environment is not that same as a classroom. Bike Fit Systems conducts training by coming to and working with you in your location. Learn ways to maximize the resources (tools and work space)that you already have to provide Bike Fitting. Paul's years of traveling experience and training efforts will provide insights to help make the most of your Bike Fit Services. Working in your space means that you'll save time and money on travel and being away from the office.
Previous Bike Fitting Education
If you or your staff have previous Bike Fit training, that is a big plus, but not a necessity to be able to provide superior Bike Fit Services for your customers. Bike Fit Systems can help build on any previous training you have already. We work with Beginner and Advanced. Learn the "WOW!" Factor that will enhance your credibility and increase your sales, all while improving customer satisfaction. We will help you keep your customers happy and riding their bikes!
EDUCATION/TRAINING Schedule
A Training Day
Paul Swift and the staff at Bike Fit Systems try to schedule three Bike Fits per typical training day. These Bike Fits can be on other staff members, customers who'll cover the cost of having Paul directly work on them, or special customers of yours, who'll appreciate being asked to get that special treatment from your shop.
Learn the complete, biomechanically sound system to treat individual comfort and efficiency issues with any of your customers, no matter their experience level. Learn why the foot-to-pedal interface is the foundation for a great Bike Fit, and the area where most overuse injuries can occur. Learn repeatable, simple & proven techniques that can make the most impact for your customers.
Pre and Post Video Bike Analysis is done on each Bike Fit to help emphasize points of interest and quicken the learning process. Video results are often highlighting dramatic degrees of change found on these people.
Classroom discussion(s) generally take place in the evening and may last up to a couple of hours. Often, Cycling Clubs are invited to these talks to learn more about your potential for Bike Fit Services. It's a great way to pique curiosity with your best audience in a learning, social environment.
