  Chad and Allen are the two most knowledgeable bike fitters in town, hands down. It's no surprise that they're trusted by the entire racing community in NYC. These guys are excellent, and they are a blast to work with.

  Professional bike fit, not just for pros! About me: previously light cyclist (a loop or two around central park on weekends and a couple of 15-30 mile bike rides a year, eg Five Borough Bike Tour). Got my hybrid bike stolen around the same time I decided to give triathlon a try 18 months ago. Bought my first entry level road bike (Scott Speedster) from my local shop which came with a “basic” bike fit, which basically consisted of making sure my crotch did not hit the top of the frame when I stood on the bike and “adjusting” the saddle. Since then I have used the bike quite a lot, raced 7 sprint/Olympic distance tris, improved my fitness significantly and dropped >30 lbs along the way. I always found riding in the “road” position uncomfortable but put it down to being used to the hybrid at first, thought just needed “time to adjust”. Unfortunately aches and pains only got worse and despite improved fitness and significant decrease in my swim and run times, my bike splits were not much better than when on the hybrid. Plus those brick legs….. After talking to people and reading online I decided to take the plunge with a professional bike fit. I figured at worst I would lose money and see no change and conclude that cycling was just going to be something I had to put up with to do tri’s. I asked around and was recommended a few options but decided to go with Chad at EnduranceWERX. It was expensive (all professional bike fits are) but after reading a few raving reviews about him online and finding how easy it was to make an appointment online, I went with him. The location was also pretty easy to get to: just a block or so off the Adam Clayton Blvd exit in the Northern side of Central park. I waited 3 weeks after my fit to make sure I was confident on what I write on this review. Long story short, this bike fit has been one of the best investments I have ever made. Chad was extremely knowledgeable, calm and involved. He took the time to explain absolutely everything and provided all the information I needed. He patiently answered all my questions (and believe me I had a lot) and even gave me useful tips about pedaling technique and cycling in general. It really felt like a 2-way interaction rather than someone just making changes according to a machine read. The moment I came out of Chad’s shop I felt the difference immediately, did a loop around the park and dropped a couple of minutes off my PR, without even trying much! Ever since I feel so much more power in my legs, much less fatigue and the back aches are almost gone. Cycling is finally fun again! Bottom line: I wish I had done this much sooner. Now I know it is true, a professional bike fit benefits even beginners, it’s expensive but well worth it. This is the only bike fit I’ve ever had so cannot compare, but even though I have only ever met Chad once on the day I had my fit I would definitely recommend him without hesitation!

  Received a great cleat fit from Allan. Feel much more comfortable on the bike now. Allan explained to me exactly what he was doing and took the time to make adjustments based on my feedback. Quality service!

  I had an incredible fit from Chad at enduranceWERX. He took the time to thoroughly explain what adjustments he made to my bike. Chad went above and beyond what I expected and also gave me tips on how to ride more efficiently and powerful. I read previous reviews when deciding where to get fit in NYC and settled on enduranceWERX. Although it was very far away from my home (Brooklyn -> Harlem), it was worth every second of my time and I can't thank Chad enough! I highly recommend Chad and enduranceWERX for anyone looking to get fit in NYC, you will not be disappointed.
