Climbing Clinic Services

Depending on the venue, some of these services may not be offered during every clinic. Please check the details of the clinic you are planning to attend to confirm which services will be available.

Bike Fitting / Bike FitCheck

All bike fitting services are performed by a certified USA Cycling Coach and expert fitter/biomechanist.

Complete Bike Fitting

This fitting service covers cleat adjustment, body geometry, pedal stroke analysis, postural alignment and biomechanic factors specific to climbing. A complete report is provided via email in PDF format. (Learn More)

Bike FitCheck

The FitCheck service focuses on specific elements of bike setup that are most critical to safety and performance. Includes cleat alignment, body geometry and optimizing climbing biomechanics. A report containing all measurements and recommended adjustments/parts is provided via email in PDF format.

Metabolic Testing

Riders will have the option to take a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test or a VO2max test. The RMR test will determine base calorie requirements and guidelines. The VO2max test provides calorie requirements at exercise intensities, training (physiological) thresholds, heart rate zones and VO2max.

Depending on the venue, power output and zones can also be provided. (Learn More)

Kinesio Taping

The Kinesio Taping method is a proven approach to enhance the body’s natural healing process and provide support for muscle mechanics.

The 2 basic taping techniques are used to balance muscles and bring them up to functional level. This can be applied for overuse and acute injuries and for rehabilitation. Taping techniques can also be applied for increased muscle function and to correct and manipulate mechanical issues (biomechanics).

Kinesio Taping may be suggested and/or applied during the bike fitting or bike FitCheck session, as well as, throughout the clinic to assist riders with various muscular and body geometry issues.
