Physio Bike Fitter is located at 250 City Centre Ave, Suite 302, inside Active Health Institute. If you are familiar with such popular local Ottawa businesses such as Art-Is-In Bakery or Beyond the Pale Brewery, we are neighbours. Active Health Institute is located on the third floor of the office tower at the north end of the complex.
Please bring your bicycle, preferably cleaned, in good working order, with air in both tires. Cycling clothing (jersey and shorts) and cycling shoes to change into as you will be riding a trainer for periods of the fit. If you are newer to cycling, comfortable athletic clothing and running shoes are best. We have 99% of what we will need to mount every bike up on a trainer but if your bike comes with a very proprietary thru-axle set up, make sure you bring any adapter necessary to get your bike geared up for the fitting. Mask wearing remains completely optional and at every client’s individual discretion, water bottle and light snack if you wish.
We do our best to work as quickly and efficiently as possible. A full professional fit can take up to 3 hours to perform properly without being rushed. A beginner, pre purchase or second bike fit can take up to 2 hours to perform.
