Here is what Adam Johnston and Peter Oyler had to say about why WattsUp Cycling decided to Partner with FITT 1ST

WattsUp Cycling is pleased to partner with Scott Judges and FITT 1ST to provide professional bike fitting services to our clientele.

Anyone who takes their cycling as seriously as the typical WattsUp Cycling athlete does needs to be comfortable, powerful, and aerodynamic on their bike.

Realizing that there is a considerable process to being properly fit on one's bike, we decided to out-source our bike fits to a professional.

It was imperative that this fit professional display the following:


INDEPENDENT:
We believe a true bike fit professional ought to be independent of any particular bike shop, bike brand, bike fitting system, training club, etc. At present, the vast majority of Toronto's bike fitters do not have independent status.

Scott at FITT 1ST does.


CERTIFICATION / PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION:
There are a number of bike-fitting certifications available. And each system has their merits. We feel it's important that a bike fitter be trained in at least one system, and willing to flex their fit philosophy to consider the ideas/philosophies of other systems. Scott displays this, being a SICI certified PROFESSIONAL fitter, and intending to examine other bike fit systems.


TECHNOLOGY:
We believe technology plays an important role in bike fitting. But at the same time, we feel that some bike fitters hide behind the technology rather than standing up and taking ownership of the fitting process. Scott implements a judicious use of technology and human science in his bike fits.


PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
Scott is an avid, long time, serious cyclist. He knows the nuances of cycling. and understands athletes' passion for their bikes and the importance of how good they feel on them. Scott communicates with the athlete, discussing not only what he is doing but why he is doing it to ensure the athlete understands the reason for the changes. This allows the athlete to better understand their own body morphology and how it translates to their position on the bike.

In this way the athlete can provide more constructive feedback as they get stronger.


PERSONAL SKILLS:
Some bike fit experiences end up feeling like a sales pitch...either for a number of new parts/accessories for one's bike, or for a new bike altogether. Scott at FITT 1ST is not like that. There are times when a part or two needs replacing on an athlete's bike. Rather than force sales on the athlete, Scott simply presents the facts, explains what a new part would do for the athlete's fit, and ultimately lets the athlete make their own decision.


ATHLETE INPUT:
While Scott follows tried and true fit rules, he takes into account how the athlete is feeling during the fit process. The athlete's comfort on the bike is paramount. Scott will not force an athlete into an uncomfortable position. He works together with the athlete to determine the best overall position for them, with their specific disciplines and overall goals in mind.


We are certain that Scott and FITT 1ST will help improve our riders' overall comfort, power, aerodynamics and safety.

Welcome to WattsUp Cycling, Scott!
