We had a fitting with Jason at Virtual Bike Fitting last year. My wife and I both appreciated the sheer scope of his knowledge, his patience, and his ability to make a number of micro-adjustments to our bike settings despite doing so remotely. He spent an enormous amount of time with us making sure that everything felt right and, afterwards, sent us links to recommendations that he had for gear, cycling tips, and exercises that he thought would be helpful. All in all a very positive experience.

I worked with Jason Barcoff for my virtual bike fitting. He was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. His explanations for adjustments were very detailed. I was extremely pleased with my virtual bike fitting and noticed an immediate improvement on the bike. He also followed up with some exercises that will hopefully be beneficial in making me more efficient as I continue to ride.

I have been riding Peloton for a couple of years. I always noticed issues with my knees and kept trying to figure out the proper setup. Long rides felt horrible. I finally started to research fitters and came across VirtualBikeFitting. This was a win. You have several fitters to choose from. I chose Jason since there was some alignment between the two of us. Once the session started he meticulously walked me through the process. From questions to doing basic moves and then lying on my back to show my feet. After some discussion , he quickly identified some gaps on the bike setup and some overall challenges that I owned. Meaning flexibility and strength inn some areas.It has been a couple of weeks now and I notice a big difference in my biking and knee strain is all but gone. I am continuing to work on some personal flexibility and strength items that Jason assigned to me.This was a great experience from the initial signup to the end of the session.

I wish I had known about Virtual Bike Fitting and Greg one year ago when I bought my Peloton. Greg was thorough and measured. His expert knowledge was apparent in every evaluation and adjustment we made. By the end of our hour my shoes and every setting on the bike were different, and I was left with recommendations to further improve my efficiency and efficacy pedaling. All of this was is in the interest of preventing injury so I can bike forever!I do recommend using your phone camera, having a friend to help, and having your shoe wrenches at hand. Double thumbs up!

A few days ago had an incredible fitting session with Jason. I honestly did not expect the level of attention and detail that I received - the value was so much higher than I expected. Jason took his time to assess and then adjust my form and fit to it was just right. I ridden a few times since and it has made a huge difference already. I highly recommend a fitting with VirtualBikeFitting!

Worked with Mr. Choat. He is a master of his craft. Provided great tips during the fitting that continue to help me. Riding now without discomfort or injuries!

Although I've been riding for several years this was strongly recommended to me by a friend. I'm so glad I did it. Makes a huge difference. I highly recommend doing this virtual bike fitting and particularly recommend Jason!

I had a wonderful fitting with Jason. Helped instantly with the lower back pain/leg pain I was experiencing. Extremely thorough. Would absolutely recommend this if you are questioning your bike fit.

Great experience with Tim. He is extremely knowledgeable about body biomechanics, set my bike settings for my particular issues, and recommended a new seat/shoes to improve ride experience and comfort. Very glad I did this!

Tim is AMAZING! He was patience and very thorough. I felt like I can ride for days without being in pain. He is very knowledgable and funny. He listen to my concerns and addressed each one. I've already recommended him to one of my cousins. I play on keeping in touch and working on my rides.

OMG this was a game change. Tim is an expert and knows how the slightest adjustment can make a huge difference to a ride. I feel more stable and more powerful through the legs. thank you

Excellent service at Virtual Bike Fitting both virtually for the indoor trainer and face-to-face for the road bike. Dougie and the team are great and have no problems recommending their services.

Tim is amazing! He helped me make sense of what’s going on with my bike and my body! Last nights ride was pain free for the first time in months!!!

Worth every penny! Informative, practical and most importantly, I’m riding pain free. Greg took the time to really get a sense of my day to day routine so he could recommend some specific off bike practices that will help me ride smoother. Before getting fitted I was experiencing pain in my hip but I after following the suggestions Greg gave me I am riding 5 days a week pain free. Highly recommend!

Jason was amazing. He answered all my questions and even went above and beyond. He really knows his stuff and was exactly on for everything he said. I am so much more comfortable on my Bike now! The session was fast and Jason was able to resolve all my issues very quickly.

I have had a Peloton for over 3 years and gradually developed bad muscle habits related to a poor fit. Jason was extremely thorough in helping me to identify the problem and not only helped correct my bike settings but gave me concrete exercises and stretches to help correct my imbalance. He was clearly an expert and this was much more than just a bike fitting. My only regret is not doing this sooner.
Sandra Lonneville
20:02 19 Mar 22
Greg was very knowledgeable and took his time making sure my bike fit was right. I was amazed how different my setting were and how much more comfortable my riding is. I no longer bounce around looking for comfort while I ride. He offered so many tips in addition to the fit itself. It was awkward at first but already just 2 rides in with new setting I can tell the difference. I wish I had done this sooner.
Chris Baxter
13:54 01 Mar 22
I had a bike fitting with Jason as well as my wife. He was very informative, very friendly and knowledgeable. I have had a Peloton for over a year and never really thought I was fitted properly. Jason's hour of fitting me was an eye opener. He adjusted my settings, cleats, form and the whole nine yards. Provided my tips and tricks I had no clue about. I think the best part was he made it fun and not intimidating. I even asked about the proper way to wear spin shorts LOL. He gave me the answer I was looking for which I appreciated. This was the best money I spent and now I have a person that I can go back to if I have questions or just help. There is a lot more to just doing Peloton and hurting your body in the process. Thanks Jason.

I recommend this service for anyone new to Peloton. Dougie was friendly, knowledgeable and patient.

I've been riding on the Peloton for about 20 months. I've been playing around with my seat settings by following online tips and viewing myself in the mirror... I thought I had gotten it just right. I was curious about how much of an improvement a formal fitting would make in my performance, but hadn't given much thought into how it may affect the strain I was putting on my muscles/joints let alone recovery.I scheduled a fitting with Greg (he came highly recommended) after the fitting was given to me as a gift. The overall experience was fantastic! It was much more detailed than I realized it was going to be. The online portal was seamless. Greg was on time, very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. For starters, I couldn't believe how far off my personal adjustments were from an ideal riding position! It felt a little funny for a few rides settling in to the new riding position, but I now find it vastly superior. I find that I now hold a naturally higher cadence, and higher outputs seem to come with less fatigue.For anyone riding regularly this is an invaluable experience!

Jason was extremely thorough and professional. I was very impressed by what he was able to do via a virtual visit. Made a huge difference and made sure I understood what we were changing and why
Trevor Porter

I highly recommend Jason with VirtualBikeFitting. He was patient, knowledgeable, and helped me dial in a comfortable cycling position. I didn't feel like he was trying to "over-correct," meaning if something was working well, he didn't change it just to make it look like he was doing something. He listened to my individual experience on the bike, which isn't much, and helped guide me to proper positioning. I'll recommend him to others.
Jennifer Steeb
01:21 20 Jan 22
My virtual bike fitting was awesome with Jason! He is exceptional at explaining the bike fit and explaining why what your experiencing is occurring. I liked it to so much I made my husband do a bike fit too (and he also loved it)!! I highly recommend this group and specifically Jason—they came recommended because they focus on quality of the bike fit over competitors and they delivered above and beyond!
Diane Prince
16:06 23 Dec 21
My virtual bike fitting with Jason Barcoff was game changing! I've been riding my Peloton bike for a year before the fitting and after Jason took the time to not only position my bike settings, but look at my form and make adjustments to how my cleats were screwed in and other things I would've never thought of like tightening the seat, and pedaling tips-- I immediately saw results! I highly recommend to anyone who rides.
Matthew Berkowitz

I had a great experience here! Lloyd was amazing and really helped me out. I was able to ask him a ton of questions and he was super knowledgeable and helpful. He told me what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. I highly recommend to anyone that might be on the fence.
Sarah Ortiz
22:06 08 Dec 21
Dougie Shaw is such a patient person to work with. That alone earns him 500 stars. He really took the time to listen to me rattle on and helped identify the issues with my settings. He would not settle until he was sure I was comfortable and that his recommendations were acceptable to me. Truly a wonderful experience and bonus points for sense of humor!
Kristen Komara

I just had a terrific bike fitting with Jason and can’t say enough great things. I have all sorts of things going on with my feet… bilateral clubfoot, leg length discrepancy, 2 different size feet...I haven’t met many people who have experience with any of these things, but Jason was so knowledgeable and able to provide great tips and so much information. We made some big adjustments to my bike and cleats, and I am excited to ride with my new settings! Thank you Jason and Virtual Bike Fitting! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a bike fitting, especially anyone with a particular issue. I don’t think there’s much these guys haven’t seen before.
Chris Thatcher

I just finished my professional fitting with Dougie Shaw. I could not believe how far off my settings were and how quickly he got me into a better position. I am comfortable, engaging both sides of my legs and the knee pain is gone. I wish I had done this years ago. I highly recommend this to all riders. It was well worth the time and the money was an investment in my injury free enjoyment of my Peloton. I can't say enough good things about this experience.
Romita Almonte
16:22 22 Oct 21
An excellent experience! Dougie was very detailed and thorough and his high level of knowledge was very obvious, as well as his passion in what he does. Within seconds my ride was more comfortable and I have full confidence my back pain will improve in a few rides. Would HIGHLY recommend; in fact I’ll be booking my husband a bike fitting with him next!
Mark Nicola
17:39 12 Oct 21
I can't say enough great things about Dougie. He has spent a great amount of time with me over the past 10 months in addition to the initial hour of virtual fitting that we had. My settings were so far off when we first met that I was regularly getting injuries that were totally avoidable. Aside from adjusting my bike settings with me, Dougie has educated me a great deal on my posture on the bike which has led to much more productive and enjoyable rides. If you are at all hesitant about scheduling (much like I was initially), don't be. This has proven to be an incredible good investment into my overall health.
Brittany Marcus

I had such a great experience with the team at Virtual Bike Fitting! After experiencing chronic saddle and knee pain for 4 years, these guys were able to get me back to riding. I had the pleasure of working with both Tim and Lloyd and they were so patient with my case - continuing to meet with me and offer adjustments until I felt relief and always available to follow up via e-mail or Zoom. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of a bike fit - these guys know what they're doing. Thank you, VBF!
Hannah Lassman
23:25 19 Sep 21
I had a bike fitting with Dougie a few weeks ago. He was really knowledgeable and informative. Since I’ve had my bike fitting I haven’t had anymore knee pain and my riding has improved. I would highly recommend Dougie and Virtual Bike Fitting to to everyone!

20:37 18 Sep 21
Tim was amazing! He was so helpful and knowledgeable. He really helped me better understand movement and cycling in general, in addition to better placement of the cleat on my shoes and seat/handlebar placement. He took his time and made sure I understood the advice he was giving. I can happily report with my new cleat and bike setting, I set a personal record on my ride today, something I hadn’t done in months!
Catherine Inglebritson
02:11 12 Sep 21
Such a great experience! My Peloton bike feels at last as if it really fits me, as do my shoes, and I also got a great set of recommendations for helpful exercises. I can't recommend these folks, and Jason in particular, enough.
Rachy J
11:43 11 Sep 21
Amazing bike fitting! Tim took his time and made continuous adjustments to make the fit absolutely perfect for me. He then sent an email that went over everything we discussed during the fitting so I could review again and again! I highly recommend virtualbikefitting!!!!
Amanda Jones
19:14 10 Sep 21
Jason was absolutely fantastic. I had grown tired of guessing what the right settings for me were, and he helped me in such a knowledgeable and effective way. I'm so much more comfortable on the bike. It was worth every. penny!Thank you VBF!
Katie Johnson
18:52 09 Sep 21
Great experience and well worth the cost. I am an inexperienced rider who developed an over use injury. Dougie helped me adjust my cleats and my bike to ensure a proper fit. He took time evaluating my form and helped me to improve it. He sent recommendations for orthotics as well. If you’ve never had a professional bike fit I would recommend doing it because I am so much more comfortable on my bike now. Thank you Dougie!
Lisa Beaury
01:03 18 Aug 21
Great appointment with Tim!I was having pain no matter how I adjusted the bike. I can now comfortably and safely ride my Peloton. He was very knowledgeable and kind in his approach for even this non-athlete!
Mark Calhoun
19:53 10 Aug 21
Jason from the VBF team was very kind and helpful in our session. He explained the science and bio mechanics behind everything we were doing. We ended up making adjustments that made my cycling feel way more natural. It instantly felt more natural in my stride, knees, and hips. I would recommend this service and I will definitely be back when my wife is ready for a virtual bike fitting.
Jennifer Lawton
23:37 21 Jul 21
Jason is amazing. Thorough. Patient. Calm. A coach. An expert. I’ll be a 2x a year or more customer. Getting a fitting and making changes as you change is fundamental to getting stronger.

13:27 06 Jul 21
Lloyd was awesome - he was super personable, asked about my goals and problem areas, and helped me adjust my fitting to improve performance and comfort. He even went above and beyond to send me some recommendations for saddle sore relief products. The fitting took less than an hour but was thorough and very effective! My riding feels completely different (and better) since the adjustments he recommended.
Sam Sefton
13:47 29 Jun 21
Overall, great experience. Dougie was awesome. Lots of detail went into the session and my settings changed dramatically. The ride is much improved and it is nice to have the confidence of correct settings, done by a professional with no more guessing. Well worth the money. Thanks VirtualBikeFitting!

If you are going to buy a peloton, you have to know how to actually use it.Like buying a top sports car, it may all look the same but you won't appreciate the machine unless you know how to get everything out of it. That's what a bike fit does. I had Dougie and he was extremely quick at recognizing my specific needs. Not everyone needs to be a competitive athlete to enjoy indoor cycling. But to enjoy indoor cycling, form is vital. Dougie even through a computer screen assessed my form, stance and made corrections that helped my overall pedal stroke. More importantly, the changes he made provided less impact on my hip which was my sore area. The rides are more enjoyable now and am producing more output while riding in a more safe fashion. Whatever you think you are doing correctly may not be necessarily so. You need a pro to evaluate you, so you can actually know what you are doing and why. If there was a service that could make you better and ride safer, why wouldn't you do it? My only regret was not choosing this service earlier as I thought I could do it by myself.

Had a GREAT experience with Jason - he was clearly very knowledgeable and was able to very quickly make see where he could make adjustments. I would highly recommend him for anyone who has every had any injury before (which is everyone!). Not only did he fit me on bike, but he gave me some links for exercises to improve my muscle strength and balance.

13:34 03 Jun 21
I completed my virtual fitting on June 2, 2021 and was extremely pleased. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics, body position, and various other things I have no clue about but are important to cycling form, comfort, and efficiency.Once we got to the bike, Tim suggested several changes to my setup and position that have changed the way the bike feels in such a positive way.The BIG piece of the puzzle is that Tim doesn't just give you new settings and tell you that's it. He provided me a detailed followup email that explains exercises to focus on and other improvements that I can make on my time to continue to improve myself and my riding.Definitely would suggest it for anyone who cares about their health, comfort, and performance.
Chris Lindquist

Wonderful service provided by Greg Choat. He is extremely thorough and professional, explains the reasoning for adjustments and is meticulous about the process. I have used him 3 times now because he does such a good job. The in depth assessment before the actual fitting and attention to detail is very impressive. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be more comfortable on the bike and improve their form.
Lauren McDowell
18:55 12 May 21
Had a great experience working with Jason on my bike fitting! It was so much more than just a lesson in how to properly fit my bike (and the difference between before and after is huge, by the way). I learned a lot I didn't know about how my specific body moves and why, with the science behind it. And I left with tips on things to improve off the bike! It was well worth the cost for the peace of mind and knowledge gained, and I'd recommend to anyone with a bike to prevent/reduce injuries.
Lisa Kanski
01:39 12 May 21
Tim was very thorough and took a lot of time and care into my fitting. I noticed a difference immediately and a few rides in I am no longer having pains. Very highly recommended. Worth every penny.
Marie Brown
17:08 04 May 21
I'm a bit of a skeptic, thinking really how can small differences make such a big difference? Well, it does! I just had a fitting with Jason Barcoff yesterday, and it turned out all his suggestions made big differences. Jason was very patient, and his manner was easy. He answered all my questions, and was very knowledgeable in helping me understand the changes he was making as to why he was doing this or that. Small changes were made to my cleats and seat height based on our session together. I was skeptic about the handlebars though being dropped so low. Well after doing a ride this morning I notice from the get go I found it easy to go above my past PR level. I ended up finishing above my PR by 31 points. The drop in handlebars allowed me to breathe easier, so I could handle the higher cadences. Jason was right after all! The change he made to my cleat position allowed me to be more steady off the saddle, yet keeping my cadence level. I now scheduled my husband for his own fitting with Jason.

Thorough posture and current setup assessment. Only recommended changes if they were necessary. Changes were positive resulting in improved performance and comfort. Useful follow-up email with relevant recommendations.

I'm very happy with the result of Lloyd Thomas' virtual bike fitting. My back pain disappeared after riding a couple of weeks with new settings on my Peloton.
Susan Myrden
12:38 16 Apr 21
I can’t recommend Lloyd Thomas enough! I went in with expectations high because a lot of other people recommended him and, honestly, he exceeded them. I’ve had back pain for a while and my new settings have helped so much! He even took time after our appointment to help me find a mountain bike! Book your appointment - you won’t regret it!!!!!
