Workshop Experiences
I just wrapped up a killer 3 day bicycle fit seminar with Fit Kit Systems! I’m amazed at how working with John has deepened my understanding of fit, design, and the bike/body relationship. I can’t wait to start putting it all into practice. Custom starts with fit!
Spent the last two days learning from John at Fit Kit Systems. Very good class and walked away with a great foundation on how to do bike fitting.
I would like to thank you again for the great job you do with your fitting classes. Your hands on workshop and experience on fitting were very helpful. Even after being in the bicycle business for over 41 years we came away with the added confidence we are giving our customers a correct, comfortable and safe bicycle fitting. We have already seen great results in bike sales especially in the high end market. Customers are telling us that our reputation of great service, knowledge of product and proper fit made their decision to buy from us. I would highly recommend your workshop to everyone in the bicycle business regardless of experience level.
