Alchemy Body + Bike uniquely provides the most technologically advanced and data driven bike fitting services.
Bike Fitting
Bike fitting is the unique art of integrating the bike and body to produce the most comfortable and optimal position while increasing performance and power. With over 10 years of Physical Therapy and Bike Fitting experience, Ray can not only effectively evaluate issues stemming from the bike, but can also clinically evaluate the body to give a complete vision of “Body and Bike”.

Level 1 Bike Fit
A Level 1 Bike Fit will go through a thorough history and addressing relevant goals of the rider. You’ll receive a detailed, on the bike evaluation of pedal stroke and body positioning. We’ll use our Retül Technology to address handle bar placement, saddle selection, and pedal/cleat interface. The rider will be emailed a form of all changes made to the bike and potential exercises for the body. This fit typically lasts 2 hours. $500
PT Bike Fit
A PT Bike Fit will offer all the thoroughness and technology of a Level 1 Bike Fit, but will also include a one hour physical therapy evaluation and treatment of the body. This is a perfect fit for the rider that is struggling with pain, numbness, hotspots and overall discomfort. This fit truly integrates Body + Bike. The rider will be emailed a form of all changes made to the bike and potential exercises for the body. This fit typically lasts 2.5-3 hours. $650
New Purchase Bike Fit
In the market for a new bike or having a bike built? Let us help you get your bike geometry and fit dialed in to your body. We use a fully adjustable “fit bike” to establish the perfect position of the rider. We utilize this position to choose frame sizes, bike components, and all adjustments including saddle height, etc. Alchemy will communicate with the bike builder or bike shop, giving detailed fit coordinates for your new bike. This fit typically lasts 2 hours. $500
2 Bikes - Bike Fit
Bring two of your bikes to one fit session! You will receive all of the services of our Level 1 Bike Fit, but with two bikes of your choosing. We will go through a detailed on the bike evaluation of pedal stroke, body positioning, handle bar placement, saddle selection, and pedal/cleat interface of both bikes. The rider will be emailed a form of all changes made to the bikes and potential exercises for the body. This fit typically lasts 3 hours. $700
Return Fitting
If you have purchased one of our bike fitting services (Level 1, 2 Bikes, New Bike Purchase, and/or PT Bike Fit), we are happy to have you back into the fit studio if you need any additional adjustments or tweaks, for no cost. We do suggest that after your bike fit, you spend at least 3-4 weeks riding to allow your body to adjust to the changes that were made during the bike fit. This session typically lasts 30-45 min and can be scheduled by emailing ray@alchemybodyandbike.com.
Sometimes the limiter is the body more than the bike, and as the body changes over time, the fit needs to follow suit. Sometimes, the limiters that make riding painful or hinder performance take time to address. Bike fit, much like physical therapy, is not a one and done process, so it is important to understand that we will help adjust as many things in your first session as possible. But if you feel our service does not live up to this standard please let us know, we will do everything we can to make our service match the goals that we set at the start of the session. Your health, happiness and experience are the most important things to us.
