Professional Bike Fitting for the Hudson Valley & Greater New York Region
A destination fit studio for cyclists who care about performance, comfort, efficiency and the details that separate a good position from a truly dialed position.

Book a Bike FitA Regional Destination for Professional Bike Fitting
Riders travel to Fit-Lab in Piermont from NYC, northern New Jersey, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess and Sullivan counties, Fairfield County, the Hudson Valley, Albany and Saratoga Springs for professional bike fitting.
From refining a performance position to addressing complex fit concerns or choosing a new bike, our approach brings the rider, footwear and bicycle together as one system.
A Fit Built Around the Rider
We work with recreational cyclists, experienced road riders, racers, triathletes, gravel and mountain-bike riders, cyclists returning from injury, and riders whose mobility or goals have changed over time. The position should reflect how you move, how you ride, what you want from the bike, and what your equipment can realistically support.
A Biomechanics-Driven Fit Process
Fit-Lab combines cycling expertise with a background in critical care, Functional Movement Screening, corrective exercise and foot mechanics. Multiple fitting and assessment tools are available so technology can be selected for the rider rather than forcing every rider through the same protocol.
Depending on the goals of the session, tools may include a GURU dynamic fit bike, 3D motion capture, thermal imaging, real-world movement data and other objective measurements. Technology provides indicators; the fit is built from the complete rider and bike picture.
International Bike Fitting Institute, Level 4
IBFI Level 4 represents one of the institute's highest levels of professional accreditation and requires extensive education, demonstrated fitting experience and peer review.
Jason's background also includes work as a pedorthist, NASM corrective exercise and strength & conditioning education, Functional Movement Screening, and serving as a Masterfit University instructor in foot orthosis construction.
Cycling Foot, Shoe & Cleat Assessment
Your connection to the pedal starts inside the shoe. We evaluate the foot and footwear as part of the complete cycling system, not as an isolated accessory.
Assessment may include shoe sizing and shape, arch and forefoot support, cleat fore and aft and lateral position, rotation, stance width, pedal interface, wedges or lifters, and how those choices influence stability, knee tracking and force transfer.
Build the Position Around You
A comprehensive fit looks at the rider, the bicycle, the footwear and the goals together. Book your session and we can start with the complete picture.

Recent and standout comments from riders who have worked with Fit-Lab. Review wording is kept tied to the public Google review record.
“I cannot recommend Jason highly enough. I’m a 71-year-old road biker who came in having back pain throughout my rides as well as a sense of imbalance. Jason kindly and expertly analyzed my body mechanics and recommended a specific bike with narrower handlebars, shorter crank arms, and a special seat. Immediately the discomfort was gone, and I was more confident even making narrow turn arounds. I’m now riding 100+ miles weekly, a smile on my face the whole time!”
“What a fantastic experience it was working with you—it was money well spent. Going into the fitting, I didn’t know what to expect. You were able to quickly assess and correct many of my issues, providing both the reasons behind them and the solutions. It wasn’t just about adjusting the bike; you also made great suggestions to improve my riding habits. I rode away feeling comfortable, relieved, and confident.”
“A huge thank you to Jason at Fit-Lab in Piermont, NY for an exceptional bike fitting experience! My wife and I both had our bike measurements done, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Jason’s depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to explain every adjustment gave us complete confidence that our bikes are now dialed in specifically for our bodies and riding styles.”
“This was a tremendous experience. Jason Barcoff did a fitting on my Kona Sutra. He spent a full three hours with me, asking questions, answering my many questions, having me pedal the bike, and making adjustments. The bike now rides so much better, and I’m enjoying it much more. Jason is a true professional. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
“I came across Jason’s name on an IBFI listing of certified fitters and decided to give him a try after two previous fit sessions at other places did not resolve my ongoing knee pain. Once my position on the bike was fine-tuned, the end result was being more comfortable on the bike, a smoother pedal stroke, and back-to-back 30- and 40-mile rides without any knee discomfort.”
“If you go to 10 different bike fitters, you’ll get 10 different fits. But if you want the best fit, go see Jason. You can’t beat his passion and deep expertise when it comes to bike position and custom footbed. My power and comfort increased significantly after I saw him.”
“If you go to 10 different bike fitters, you'll get 10 different fits.”
Pedro emphasized Jason’s passion and depth of expertise in bike position and custom foot support, and reported meaningful gains in both power and comfort.
“My experience with Jason has been nothing short of exceptional, an absolute 10/10.”
His review describes meaningful improvements in riding comfort, power output and efficiency after addressing a more complex fit situation.
“The fitting process itself was incredibly thorough and precise.”
Matt described better power transfer, reduced strain and improved comfort, and noted returning for multiple fittings.
Buying a New Bike? Fit First.
Modern bicycles increasingly use integrated cockpits, proprietary seatposts and limited adjustment ranges. Establishing your target position before choosing a frame can help identify which bikes and sizes can realistically support your position. Fit-Lab is independent of any one bicycle brand: determine what works for the rider first, then evaluate the equipment.
Bike Fit Questions We Hear Often
Do I need to be a racer to benefit from a professional bike fit?
No. We work with riders across experience levels. The position should reflect your goals, anatomy, mobility and the way you actually ride.
Can you help with foot numbness, hot spots or cleat-related discomfort?
Yes. Footwear, foot support, cleat position, stance width and pedal interface are evaluated as part of the complete fit when relevant to the rider.
Should I get fit before buying a new bike?
Whenever possible, yes. Pre-purchase positioning can establish target coordinates used to compare frame geometry, cockpit options and adjustment limits before you invest in a bike.
How far do riders travel to Fit-Lab?
Fit-Lab is based in Piermont, NY, but works with cyclists traveling from throughout the Hudson Valley and greater New York region, including NYC, northern New Jersey, Westchester, Fairfield County, Orange, Dutchess and Sullivan counties, Albany and Saratoga Springs.
