We are very passionate about fit here at Concept Cyclery. So passionate in fact, that we
have designed and built a personalized fit studio unlike any in the industry. We are very
proud to be the fit studio of choice for a diverse group of pro athletes that range from Becky
and Brian Lavelle to Rudy Garcia-Tolson (Go Rudy!).
Our
ultimate goal here at Concept Cyclery is to enhance everyone's riding experience, regardless if
that is a weekly ride in the neighborhood with the kids, or an Ironman Triathlon. With that in mind,
we set out on a path to build a unique fit studio that can truly benefit anyone who rides.
Specialized Bicycle Company has spent many millions of dollars designing incredible bikes and
gear with one overriding theme: performance through design integration. That means integration of
clothes, shoes, saddle, gloves, bike, handlebar, etc. to work together. They have also been industry
leaders in bringing sophisticated fit technologies to the masses in BGFit (Body Geometry Fit).
So we decided to take an integration approach to our fit Studio as well. We integrate
the BGFit dual camera position analysis software with a CompuTrainer Power System, cleat placement
system, and a virtual reality visual system, just to make sure you are as close as possible to
real world conditions when we fit you.
We
assembled a team that includes an exercise physiologist and a triathlete training coach as well
as some of the top fitting specialists from all over the United States, trained in every major fitting
school in America including BGFit, Fit Institute of Slow Twitch (F.I.S.T.) and the Serotta International
Cycling Institute (SICI).
We have integrated professionals like Dr. Armen Agacanyan, who focuses on the very unique requirements
of athletes, as well as our newest partner, Pinnacle Training Systems. They are the premiere VO2
testing group in California, unlike any other on the West Coast. VO2 Testing 2.5mb.mov VO2 Testing
21mb.m4v Usually this level of sophistication is reserved for sports medicine complexes charging
many thousands of dollars and usually reserved for only the top elite athletes.
So how does it work and how much does it cost? We are glad you asked. First, you give us a call
and set up an appointment. You let us know what fit goal you are thinking about. We have some examples
listed to the right.
Then
you bring your bike down (don’t forget your riding gear) and we put you on our system in the fit
studio. For no cost to you, we give you an estimate on what the approximate costs will be to reach
your experience goal before you spend a penny. The average cost is $200.00.
We do it this way because it is the only way to do it right. That is because we have no idea what
it will take to reach your experience/fit goal without looking at you on your bike. It may only
take a quick adjustment or you may need a more in-depth fit program, but no work will be done and
you will not be charged until you are comfortable with our suggestions.
