Bike Fits and Personal Assessments Winter 2010

Energy Fitness Coaching is hosting 2 big weekends of Professional Bike Fits and Personalized Functional Strength and Muscular Imbalances Assessments

We recently partnered with Coach Bob Duncan of VERITAS Fit System and we are offering 100% customized and personalized bike fits based on power output, biomechanic efficiency and comfort. If you are in this sport for the long haul, your best investment is in the right bike fit!

If you want to maximize your strength and power while preventing injury, you should begin your season with a functional strength assessment and find out your muscular imbalances, muscular weaknesses and tight areas and then design a strength and stretching program to even out the imbalances, strengthen the weak areas and relieve the tightness.

Let EFC Help You Get Fit on the Bike and layout the right Functional Strength Program for you! Sign up for your spot today!

Veritas Fit System was created by Wheeliefun’s owner Bob Duncan and Ryan Vingris. The Veritas Fit System uses real time, computerized, objective feedback measuring power displacement, average torque, and overall pedal stroke efficiency to give your fit a data point. We won’t let a bike leave until objective minimum standards are met. But we do not stop there. We are convinced (based on data from over 4,000 fits) that subjective feedback on comfort and power from what the rider thinks about his/her fit impacts (positively or negatively) his or her performance on the bike. Therefore, once our objective standards are met we rely on you to fine tune your position. Be assured, we won’t let you screw up our objective measures. We are so confident about our final product that if you are not more comfortable, faster, and more powerful we will redo the fit!

The VERITAS Fit Bike was designed with versatility and flexibility in mind. The fixture is a two pillar system enabling quick movement on vertical and horizontal planes. Combined with an adjustable crank and stem, the VERITAS Fit System allows you to easily tailor the bike fit to your customer. A variable resistance module is included with each VERITAS Fit Bike, allowing the fit specialist to quantify the customer’s fit. The objective data in conjunction with the subjective data from your customer ensures a personalized and precise fit experience. Bob Duncan, owner and creator the VERITAS Fit system, has been involved in multisport racing as an athlete, coach, and retail store owner for almost three decades. He is bringing his fit system to Toledo, OH and Chicago, IL in the next few weeks!

If you are interested in getting faster and stronger on the bike, this is a must! I promise you, having the right bike fit is the most important part of cycling in your chosen sport of Triathlon or Cycling. If you are not fit properly on the bike, you will not reach your potential. You may be uncomfortable and in turn lack the desire to put in the time on the bike. An incorrect fit means sacrificing power and speed on the bike and the run. And the wrong fit may lead to injury! You must enjoy the ride and be able to spend hours in the saddle. If you don’t love riding, you need the right fit!

In working with Bob this summer on our bike fits, we road to success with Rob doing a 5:13 and me smashing the age group women’s bike course record with a 5:22 at Ironman Wisconsin. Rob and I spend hours in the saddle every day. We can spend 6 hours in aero and still get off and run! I am confident in Bob’s knowledge and his ability to improve you as an athlete! I want you to feel this good and be fast on the bike and then onto the run!

In combination with the Bike Fit, we will offer a functional strength and muscular imbalance assessment. Without an assessment, it’s a guessing game of what strength work and stretches you should be implementing in your training plan. Your assessment will allow us to determine overactive muscles and underactive antagonist muscles and we will then provide corrective exercises and stretches to improve imbalances and help you prevent injury!

While in Chicago, we also will be available for one on one sessions of your choice.
