Today, I had my first professional bike fit with Dr. Brendan Connor at Wellness in Motion. I’m a 40-year-old beginner cyclist with limited hip flexibility and a sedentary office job, so I wanted to make sure my setup supported both comfort and long-term progress. Dr. Connor began by testing my flexibility and muscle function, both generally and in relation to cycling. He took time to explain what he was doing and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Once we moved to the bike, we made a series of adjustments—saddle height, fore-aft position, tilt, foot placement, stance width, handlebar angle, shifter height, and shifter reach depth. He even removed and rewrapped my bar tape to get everything just right. By the end of the session, my pedaling felt smoother, my hips moved more freely, and my hands carried noticeably less weight. Dr. Connor noted that some remaining pressure might be due to core strength, which made sense given my fitness level. He plans to send me a short exercise routine to help address that. Overall, I left the session feeling much more comfortable and confident on the bike. The fitting was professional, educational, and well worth it.
I’ve been going to Wellness in Motion for about 4 years now and have gone for sports massage (Paige), chiro/graston (Justine) and acupuncture (Meghan) and they have kept me moving when I’m the past I would have to stop weight lifting due to constant back and hip issues. It’s not just a place for runners, anyone that has mobility issues from life or a different workout routine will absolute benefit from their skill. The best of the best, thank you ladies!
