Athleticamps Bike Fitting, Coaching, and Travel

I've been fit many times throughout the years and Bruce @Athleticamps gave me the best fit I've ever had. His knowledge and experience allowed him to spot several deficiencies which dramatically changed my experience on the bike. After the fit, Bruce wants feedback and is accessible to discuss them all. Don't forget to purchase the custom insoles, they are a game changer, not a gimmick. Thank you Bruce, I'll be back for more.

Bruce was great! He did a fitting on my new gravel bike and hybrid pedals. This was my first fitting, as I've been getting more and more into cycling and am gearing up to my first century this year. He was very informative, easy to talk to, and I learned a lot. I also got some custom insoles!

Upon the recommendation of my riding teammate, I visited Bruce Hendler of Athleticamps last Thursday. My main concern was knee and trapezius pain with long rides. Bruce took a 3D motion capture with sensors attached to my forefoot, heel, ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. This provided the data needed to see where my positioning on the bike could be improved. Bruce moved my saddle back and up, adjusted my cleats, replaced the stem, and adjusted the grip angle (now I can actually reach my brakes when I'm in my drops). He also STRONGLY recommended I change out my cranks to a smaller size and recommended Matt at AE Service Course to do that work. After my 2.5 hours with Bruce, I felt confident I would feel significant improvement on my bike. I did a 25-mile easy ride on Friday and it felt good, but wanted to wait until today's 60-mile ride to be sure. I am thrilled! No knee pain and traps and neck are relaxed...so happy about that. Looking forward to my new cranks in a week or two. I highly
recommend Bruce Hendler at Athleticamps in Folsom; definitely money well-spent!

An overall great experience! Bruce is professional, passionate, and good at what he does. I had been riding my 'introductory' bike for a few years before I decide to get a new, and much better, bike. Had been riding the new bike for three months before I decided to get a fitting and that has made all the difference. I am much more comfortable and my power on the bike has increased immensely. I wish I would have visited Bruce with my first bike. It's never too early or too late to get a bike fitting is one thing I've learned. And if you have decided to get a fitting, go see Bruce.

I not only recommend Bruce Hendler as a Bike Fitter but also as comprehensive Cycling Coach with all the tools. Ive been wanting to do Bike Fit for years and my wife was kind enough to gift me this Bike Fit for my Birthday this year. I always felt like I was missing the right setup to maximize my power. Bruce nailed it with cleat position, seat hight and a much better seat to replace my 18 year old seat that came with the bike. Yes I was riding an 18 years old seat! Definitely time for a new one and he had all different sizes and shapes to properly fit what was best for me. Bruce and talked a lot during the fit and he's done 1000's which was impressive since he's got a quick eye to support the 3D capture data he uses for all the body angles during the fit. Bruce also offers comprehensive fitness testing for VO2, lactate, torque analysis in additional to coaching which only makes his services more valuable. After the fit I did a several test rides on a few familiar Strava segments to see how id feel. I had been off the bike for more then 4 weeks and my training was completely off but I still hit PR's with ease feeling like I had an extra gear with my new fit. I was completely amazed and excited to get back to my training. A big thanks to Bruce and hope you find his services soon so he can help you as he did me. When I get new shoes and or a new bike I will defiantly be back to see Bruce!
Sincerely,
Thomas
