Want to delve into the world of bike fitting? Join us for an initial three-day training program designed to equip you with the essential skills to assist cyclists. This is undeniably the finest initiation to the art of bike fitting globally. Uncover the insider knowledge of bike fitting that I yearned to possess when I first embarked on this journey.
Course Outline
This is the very best course for you to begin your fitting education journey. Perfect for those who have watched videos online, are physios, coaches or brand new to the industry and now want to learn the right way to approach and practice bike fitting.
This course is focused on showing you that you have lots of the necessary skills and abilities already and that with the right training (and practice) you can start being effective pretty quickly.
Torke Start Bike Fitting is IBFI level 1 accredited and much more than just giving you a level 1 sylabus. This course teaches you how to think about and approach bike fitting. If I knew these things when I started I would have accelerated my practice 5 years!
This course is the result of over 15years of learning how to teach bike fitting to beginners. I think its about the best three day course in the world. It is developed to give you enough skills and knowledge to immediately start helping cyclists to feel better on their bikes.
Course Outcome
This three day intensive course shows you how to deliver a solid IBFI level 1 bike fitting service. It has lots of practical sessions for you to engage in and is designed to leave you feeling a ‘a little bit dangerous!’ Meaning that by the end you should be leaving with a feeling of confidence that you know what to do. Yes there is a lot to digest and take in, but its not rocket science. Its just a lot of little steps that are hard to remember. For this reason this course comes with lots of slides and support materials for you to take into your first practice sessions.
Please note this great course is the start of your education, not the end – the next most important step after the course is your own personal practice. Please factor this into your commitment and leaning expectations. Most students are getting competent and noticing a flow in the process within around 10 practice fits of their own.
Many of my students are charging for their fitting within 5 or so fits.
Mastery of any subject takes decades – competence however is much quicker
