EDUCATION.
Applied expertise across sport, movement and equipment.
FitLab Sports brings together applied biomechanics, athlete assessment, equipment and education to improve the interaction between people and the products they use. Our work spans individual athletes, sporting-goods retailers, manufacturers and industry professionals.
Athletes. Equipment. Movement.
FitLab Sports works at the intersection of human movement and athletic equipment, applying practical assessment, biomechanics, coaching and education across multiple sports.
Athlete Assessment & Performance
Movement assessment, strength and conditioning, equipment interaction and athlete development centered on the needs of the individual.
Footwear & Foot Orthosis
Sport-specific assessment of the foot, footwear and support solutions across cycling, skiing, training and other athletic applications.
Coaching & Athlete Development
Individual coaching, movement education and equipment guidance designed around the athlete, their sport and their goals.
Industry Consulting & Education
Product development, technical consultation, staff education and professional training for manufacturers and sporting-goods retailers.
The Athlete and the Equipment Are One System
Equipment does not function independently of the person using it. Position, mobility, strength, footwear, technique and equipment all interact.
FitLab Sports approaches performance from that complete perspective, combining practical biomechanics with experience across cycling, skiing, coaching, strength and conditioning, footwear and athlete education.
Assessment and technology are selected according to the individual, the activity and the problem being solved, rather than forcing every athlete through the same process.
Professional Bike Fitting
Professional in-person bike fitting is performed at our dedicated Fit-Lab studio at Piermont Bicycle Connection in Piermont, New York.
The rider, bicycle, footwear and contact points are evaluated as one interconnected system. Movement assessment, dynamic fitting, 3D motion analysis, thermal imaging and other objective measurements can be selected as appropriate to the rider and the goals of the session.
The same rider-first approach can refine an existing position, address more complex fit concerns, evaluate footwear and pedal interaction, or establish target coordinates before purchasing a new bicycle.
