T-Class Review - Just wanted to give you some feedback on the ride (Elite T-Class).  I have ridden in one race, and many short training rides, and long training rides. The bike is very light and it is very responsive.  Whenever I want to change pace with a burst of speed the bike does not fight you.  The bike climbs better than any other bike I have ridden.  It gives me a very comfortable ride.  I don't feel sore or uncomfortable after a 3 to 4 hour ride. I think a lot of the comfort has to do with the frame and especially the fork.  Overall a great ride and most importantly a very comfortable ride.  I am very pleased with the bike. Mike, MA

Ottrott ST Perfection - Just wanted to let you guys know that I took the new bike out for a nice 340 mile weekend.  It was GREAT!  I brought Allen wrenches with me in case I needed to tweak anything, but the fit was so perfect that the only thing I needed to do was tighten the mount for the SRM display. Joe, NH

Amazing - This past weekend was our team spring training camp and my first true test of Maxine (Janice’s Legend ST ).  Maxine is amazing.  I rode 52 miles on Friday and was on the aerobars almost the entire time with no back pain!!  I did the same ride Saturday and again had no back pain.  While Maxine didn't turn me into the world's greatest climber (13% grade hills still suck and I'm still slow on them) she wowed me (and everyone I was riding with) on the downhills.  On one moderate (maybe 3%) downhill I hit 42mph - what a high!! Thank you so much for everything you did to get me the perfect bike. Janice, MA

Immediate Difference - I felt the difference immediately!  The other night I rode on my aero bars for 6 straight miles.  Before this fit I was lucky to get 1/2 mile before my back gave out.  My speed has improved and my comfort is definitely better.   Jim, VT

P2K Flies - I still love my bike (P2K).  It is very fast…just let it fly.  This bike took some getting used to (as) I can ride at last year’s race pace as training.  So I am not familiar with this type of speed…  Jason, MA

T-Class Happines - Just returned from an awesome ride .  I feel more comfortable on this bike than I do my couch.  No problems climbing, descending or ripping on the flats. Thank you so much for recommending the T-Class for me. I could not be happier.  Florida here I come!  Bo b, CT

Fit Education - Thank you so much for the appointment yesterday!  It was so nice to meet you both and I learned so much from talking with you.  In particular today I was thinking that I feel that I have a much better understanding of my knee injury and the cause of it from talking to Sarah about it, which makes me more motivated to get going on my PT and take care of it.  Also, while out riding today I was thinking of what Ian explained about using all of the muscle groups in your legs when pedaling ( and being on the stationary bike and seeing the computer screen).  When I was mindful of that while pedaling, I felt a huge difference! I learned so much yesterday but those were a couple of things that stood out in my mind.  Thanks again for your expertise in helping me with such an important purchase!   Elizabeth, MA

Coolness - I’m dropping a quick note to tell you I love my bike!  I finally got a chance to ride for 40 minutes last night on the trainer.  The seat never talked to me once and I felt no strain in my shoulders and arms.  Last year I would have been in tears after that ride.  Last night I was ready to go for a swim.   How cool is that?  Thanks again! Lo uise, NH

Glove Fit - The bike you shipped me went together without a hitch.  I had my first ride yesterday...and it fits like a glove (well at least a glove that fits well, which is always hard for me to find, but that is another story).  Thanks. Tim, NY

Happiness is a new Legend ST - "Talk about exceeding expectations: I can now die a happy man. The Legend ST seems to handle so much better than I'm used to and accelerates nicely… It was a pleasure dealing with you both; I thank you and wish you continued success." Doug, MA

Details are Important - "Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for Sunday. As I said before I left, you far surpassed my expectations. Sarah, your expertise with the shoe fit made quite a difference and should over the long hall. I am already looking for a similar shoe for my mountain bike. Ian, I have never met anyone more thorough than you. Your explanation of each detail of the bike fit was well thought-out. I felt like I was being dissected which I think perfectly explains what you do. Thanks again for your hospitality and professionalism. I will definitely recommend a Trip to Fit Werx for anyone looking for the proper advice from real bike/triathlon people." Bob, CT

Best of the Four - "Vermont was great. Ian knows his stuff. I have had four 'professional' bike fits and bar-none Fit Werx is the Mac Daddy of bike fits. Case-in-point, he was the only one who noticed that my left leg spins shorter than my right leg -- even though my legs are the same length (the problem arises from an old hamstring injury). Just this little nugget of information gives me something to try to correct." John, GA

New Bike is Doing the Job - "Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks. (I) finally had a chance to ride the new bike outside this weekend as temps got into the 50's, went out for about an hour and 20min and everything felt comfortable and fast. Thanks for all your hard work. Thanks again." Devin, MA

Satisfaction - "Well, it was a nice sunny day here in Metro Boston today with the temps in the mid 30s and I could not resist getting the Legend out onto the road. It was great. The bike, the fit, the ride were all great. For the first time out this season I did not push things, but spent close to an hour in the saddle. I am looking to many more hours and miles with the Legend. Another very satisfied customer." Larry, MA

Worth the Wait - "Thank you so much for the bike fit on Sunday - it was great to finally meet you both and a great experience to get properly fit for my new dream bike! I was amazed how comfortable my position felt on the fit cycle so (I) can't wait to try out the real thing." Paul, MA

Thanks - "I've been on the rollers for an hour max so far, and everything feels really good-I can't wait to get out on the road. I enjoyed meeting you and Sarah and appreciate your attention to details. Its tough to find someone who knows how to fit a bike. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!" Lydia, MA

Effective Training - "I just wanted to drop you a quick (long overdue) note of thanks. I had a great season in 2003, in large part due to the services you provided me with. My hard work at training wouldn't have been possible without the fit changes you made for me. I was able to complete multiple triathlons, a century ride, and lots of other things in between pain free and without the multiple areas of discomfort that I was dealing with prior to visiting your shop. I've been preaching to the world about you guys and the valuable expertise that you provide. Thanks again." Debbie, NH

A Great First Season - "The tri season went great for us both. We entered three triathlons and the bikes and services you offered were the best and we can’t thank you enough. It really made the difference with the advice and services you both provided. I recommend your services all the time to friends and only hope they come to you for the best in comfort and performance….I hear alot of stories of people having all kinds of discomfort while on their bikes, we bypassed all that by coming to see you both. Michael and Diane, MA

Comfort and Power - "I have taken several rides both outside and the windtrainer, and both the new position and footbeds are working out excellently! Will take time to adjust to my biggest change (distance from saddle to aero bars) as well as drop in top of saddle to armpad.....but already feel comfortable and more powerful in the position." Bruce, NH

No Guesswork - "I went for a 35 mile ride on Sunday and had no numbness in the usual places. I felt very comfortable on the bike and am pleased I decided to go to a custom frame. You fulfilled my requests to determine what would fit and to put me on a bicycle that does fit. Thanks." David, CT

IMLP Beware - "The new position including the footbeds felt very comfortable. I rode just over 50 miles with quite a bit of elevation and noticed a significant impovement in all the positions including climbing (in-and-out of the saddle.) The new saddle really helped to stabilize my hips. I'm convinced your recommendations and measurements are going to make a huge difference in preparation for Placid." Dustin, MA

One Hour off a 1/2 Ironman - "I wanted to report back how much I have benefited from my fitting. I repeated Tupper Lake Tinman this year. The only thing I changed on my bike was the fitting. I’m happy to say that I improved my bike time by an hour!!! No only my time, but my comfort level has improved. Thanks to Fit Werx! I’ve told everyone!!!" Jennifer, MA

Better Riding - "Thanks for taking time with me Saturday for my fitting. I am wholly impressed with Fit Werx and your knowledge and expertise. I got out for a quick spin Saturday afternoon, and things were great. Today I did 3+ hours… My teammates noticed that my pedal stroke was more efficient as I was able to drop my heel more, and I was also able to concentrate on a more efficient stroke. So, I am very pleased with my fitting." Steve, NH

No Back Pain - "I rode the Softride today for 79 km. I was in the aerobars constantly without any effort and no back pain! This is a truly remarkable change for me. I suspect much is the fit but maybe some is the Softride technology. I measured the Calfee and it was 6CM longer from saddle tip to center stem than the Softride! No wonder I could not stand to be on the aerobars for more than 5 minutes!" Peter, ON

New Elite Does its Job - "(I took the) first ride (on the new bike) Saturday and it was a pleasure. Not only was the weather perfect but the ride was splendid...Aside from being a little lower, everything felt about the same as (how we had set-up my old) Litespeed… I felt that the handling was extremely friendly. I was using the tri spoke and disk rear just to try the whole thing out and it was windy. With the Litespeed, and the same wheels, the wind would blow me all over the road. Not so with the Elite. A little bit of leaning was enough to stay straight. The geometry we designed makes the steering a bit less sensitive. So when the wind gusts came I seemed not to be affected by them very much. Also, the bike is extremely quiet. Even the disk wheel seems to be quieter for some reason. (And) the bike has major eye appeal, especially with the tri spoke and disk. So, I guess that makes me a satisfied customer…" Brad, NH

No More Searching - "I took my spectacular new bike out for a ride this afternoon, and it was great! I really noticed the differences right away. At first, I was dismayed that there was no room for my hands in the tops, but then I realized that since the bike fit properly, there was no need to have them there - I can reach the hoods just fine. I could never do that comfortably before. Sadly, I will be spending a lot of time on the trainer rather than outside. At least it won't get dirty. Thanks again." Amanda, MA

Major Time Savings - "I took 52 minutes off my IM bike time at Canada this year. I think I owe it to how comfortable I was on the bike. Thank you." Janice, MA

How a Fit Werx's Cervelo is Different from a Non-Fit Werx Cervelo - "I have been wanting to write and thank you both. I am very happy with my Cervelo and the fit is amazing! I ended up having a successful season and it was unbelievable to see the difference in my performance between the beginning of the summer and the end when I had my new bike. At the beginning of Sept. I did my first half-ironman and ended up winning my age group. I actually held my own on the bike! I proudly wore my Fit Werx shirt and I ended up talking to a few other guys who had purchased Cervelos in this area and were not pleased with the service and fit that they had. Thanks and I continue to recommend you to everyone I talk to. I am trying to get my father to get up there and buy the road bike he has been wanting. You might be seeing him!... My best, Brennan, PA

Double Ironman Worlds - "I had a blast on your fitted bike during the Double Iron Ultratriathlon World Championship last month. I came in 8th overall in a competitive field that included current World Record holders and past World Champions. Very, very happy to end my season in such high note. Thanks for helping." Harn Wei, MA

Best Times Ever - "Had a great, pain-free season thanks to you- best racing times ever! Did the Ascutney 50 in the rain a couple of weeks ago and Mt. Washington in the wind. A good time was had by all. You fit my friend, this summer and she is like a different rider: she is on fire, way to go! I will always recommend you to people, you provide a very valuable service! Happy Fall." Kim, VT

30 Seconds off a Couple Mile Hill Climb - "You rock!!! I feel like a pro on my bike now (or am getting closer). Yesterday I climbed Bolton, just once to start ramping intensity slowly, and i put down a new best by over 30 seconds. I haven't done any LT work in over 2 weeks and I basically took last week off of the bike, so the improved performance can only be attributed to the changes made Wednesday night. Also, my ankle feels great. It feels so awesome to ride my bike. So I am fired up. The greatest challenge will be to not ride too much or too hard. Thanks!!!!!" Josh, Cat 2, VT

Big Strides - "OK, so I've been meaning to send you guys an update for weeks now. The truth is, I've only gotten off my bike to eat and sleep.....it is AMAZING and my new best friend...I won't let anyone near it and it's not allowed to ride on the roof because it might get dirty or hurt or (EEK) stolen...truly, it is the most amazing feeling to ride for hours and not feel sore or have aches or neck cricks or sleepy, numb toes (the shoes are GREAT too.) ... The big news is that I had my last race this past Saturday down in Rhode Island and I kicked butt, espeically on the bike...I was only 3 minutes off the bike time of the fastest woman (I rode a 35:20 for 12 miles), 78th on the bike overall - the course was 3 repeats of a four mile loop and I actually passed one person twice! I ended up 175th out of 240 overall - 65 whole bodies behind me...a big feat when you consider there were only 3 or 4 folks behind me at my first race last summer... It's so comfortable and so much more fun than my old bike. I'm in love. SO worth the wait. I REALLY appreciate all that you guys did to get me fitted up and ready to go... I'll be riding until the first flakes fly this fall...and I'll definitely be sending folks your way so don't go anywhere!!! Thanks again, :)" Holly, VT

The Real Deal - "If you are a serious triathlete or cyclist and you are looking for the best combination of product and professional bike fit available, FitWerx is the place! Not only are they by far the best in the New England area, but quite possibly the best in the country...no BS! I have been competing in tri for about 10 years now and recently went through the search for the combination of best available product and fit analysis available for a new tri bike. After months of disappointing visits to local bike shops in the Boston area, meeting "professionals" claiming to be "fit experts", I was ready to fly to San Diego with the goal of returning with a new bike. Just before I was to leave, I learned of Ian and Sarah, and although I was skeptical of them being yet another bike shop using "professional fitting" as a marketing scheme, they seemed to be the real deal from the initial phone and email contact I had with them. THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL!!. I spent the day with them in Vermont with Ian working his measuring instruments on me like a mathematician, his size cycle with me on it like he has a PhD in physics, and his computer analyzing my pedal stroke and heart rate like a doctor. The result? I have truly the best combination of material and product for my specific triathlon needs along with the very best fit available in the marketplace, anywhere! San Diegans could benefit from a flight to Vermont...." Rick, Massachusetts. Degree Ironman Triathlon Team Member

Welcoming Professionalism - "I was in town for the Green Mountain Stage Race over Labor Day and stopped by your shop for a quick browse. I was very impressed by the layout of the shop, the quality products you stand behind, and most of all by your attention and hospitality. I like your philosophy on cycling fit and performance, one that few people present as their primary function. I live in the Dallas- Fort Worth area, home of some very large bike shops, but few compare to the welcome professionalism you project. I spent a good bit of time on my way out of town reading your brochure, a nice presentation indeed! Next year I will again take on the GMSR (and plan on doing considerably better, that is if I can move to a more mountainous region by then!), and will be sure to stop by." Chris, TX

Fulfillment - "I just wanted to let you know I was able to get out on my (new) dream bike this week for an hour or so test ride, and was so extraordinarily delighted! It was just amazing! The rapid response and extreme comfort were more impressive than I had imagined. Everything felt great in terms of size-soooo much more managable than any other bike I have ever been on. The saddle and aerobars felt great! All in all, a very positive review! Thank you for making my dream come true!" Robin, MA

International Opinion - "I'm back from a long trip to Tokyo safely! Thank you very much for all your kindness. I am totally satisfied with my bike fitting. I feel so good on my bike now! I am looking foward to see you and the beautiful mountains of Waitsfield again! Thank you very much." Hitomi Jin, Tokyo, Japan

Comfortable at all Distances - "I just wanted to drop you a short note of thanks. I never thought I would be as comfortable on my bike as I was throughout the summer. The difference before and after was remarkable after working with you. The Lake Placid Ironman was great except for the weather and the bike was comfortable the whole time. I did a bunch of shorter races and finished up my season a couple of weeks ago with a second overall at the Sharon triathlon. Thanks for all your help back in May - it made a big difference. I am now thinking about a custom frame or maybe a stock frame that is better suited to my dimensions for next season. Thanks again."
Devin, MA

Coach's Recommendation - "There are two things that I noticed right away about my new position on both my road racing bike and my TT bike – more power, and a much more comfortable position. I leave my TT bike on my CompuTrainer all winter, and prior to the bike fit, I was very uncomfortable in the aero position after about 15 or 20 minutes. All that changed after my bike fit with Fitwerx, as I was able to *comfortably* stay in the aero position for 2-3 hours. That alone would make me a very satisfied customer, but I also notice that my power output also went up, and my legs just felt better when riding. For those familiar with the CompuTrainer, my SpinScan also went up by about 10 points in the aero position, which is a huge improvement. I also used to regularly get pain in my lower back from riding…that is gone too! I wish that Fit Werx was around years ago when I first started riding!

Based on the extremely positive benefits that I experienced, I started sending my athletes up to Fit Werx for their fitting and equipment needs. I check in with each athlete to see what changes were made, and how they feel in their new position. Every single athlete that I have sent up to see Fit Werx has been extremely pleased with the results. As a coach, this has helped me help my athletes – proper positioning and fit on a bike is crucial to improving performance and minimizing biomechanical stress. I typically ask a new athlete who did their bike fit when we first start working together, and attending a fitting session is one of the first things that I will suggest that an athlete do to improve their performance and comfort on the bike."

Dropping Time - "We had the District TT Championship this past weekend, and using the position you designed for me on a converted road bike, my time was over 2 minutes faster than previous efforts... and my relative position among my peers changed from bottom 1/3rd to #3 (20 seconds out of #1)... something changed, no doubt the position was a big part of it. Thanks for all your help..." Bill, DE

Change Can be Good - "The new shoes make a huge difference and I am much more comfortable on the bike. I thought the saddle would be a bit on the firm side, but I hardly notice it's there. My position is great and the hand numbness has completely disappeared!! No neck and shoulder pain to speak of, come to think of it. I got out for a 40 mile ride and felt much more efficient and fluid. I also felt physically better - 20 miles felt like 10, 30 miles felt like 20, etc. Oh, and the increased average pace with no extra effort... It was really great, and has been wonderful so far. While I will still adamently insist that I am a runner first, I think this could be the boost that I need to push the running (and all of its persistent injuries) to the back and declare cycling as "my sport." Thanks so much."
