BikeFit's Education Philosophy
To improve at something, one needs to practice. Therefore, to be a better Bike Fitter, one needs to do more bike fits.

At BikeFit we know that a real world environment is not the same as a classroom. Our training can be brought to you at your location (you'll save time and money on travel and being away from the office), held at our office in Kirkland, Washington or done in one of several regional training centers throughout the United States. You'll learn ways to maximize the resources (tools and work space) that you already have to provide bike fits. Our knowledge will provide insights to help make the most of your bike fitting services.
BikeFit 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 fits for your customers. BikeFit can help build on any previous training you have already. We work with beginners and advanced fitters. We'll teach you 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!
A Training Day
We typically schedule three bike fits per training day. These bike fits can be on other staff members, customers who'll cover the cost of having our Instructors work directly on them, or your best customers, 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.
Time permitting, we conduct pre and post video analysis 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 BikeFit's Services. It's a great way to pique curiosity with your best audience in a learning, social environment.
Well-Rounded Education
BikeFit and The Bicycle Fitting System™ deal with all modes of bicycling - road, track, triathlon, mountain bike, time trial, tandem, recumbent, and others. Whatever your customers ride on two wheels, BikeFit can help you provide the most complete bike fitting services available to them. Unlike some fitting systems, BikeFit is not trying to sell you new equipment. We do not favor one brand, so our solutions can provide comfort & efficiency gains for everyone.
