Absolutely fantastic time working with Jim to get the most comfortable AND efficient (aka FAST) bike fit. From start to finish Jim is a consummate professional - not just taking measurements and giving feedback but explaining it all in a way that makes the very complex information easily understood and relatable. You will leave knowing not only more about your bike mechanics, but about cycling specifically to your needs. He even followed up with trails to ride (I’m new to riding in this area)! Absolutely 100% recommend!

This was my second fit by Jim at ProTriFit this time on my TT bike. I had made a bunch of adjustments prior to the fit with Jim on my own. I was thinking there wasn’t much more that could be done to help me generate more pwr and be more comfortable/aero. I could not have been more wrong! Jim is super knowledgeable and really takes his time explaining everything along the way. After the fit to generate the same wattage as before but with a lot less effort. This should really translate well on the road and in races. If you need a fit, I highly recommend Jim and ProTriFit.

My experience with Jim was top notch! He took time to ask about my riding, what I was experiencing today, and what my goals were. He explained every step of the process, offered advice and recommendations, options, and openly shared his own knowledge and experiences! Most of that came before I even sat on my bike to start the measuring and analysis part! Jim took his time, we discussed the approach and when I left his place I was incredibly pleased! 2 rides since my fitting and I can already feel the difference! Highly recommend Jim!!

I had two bikes fitted by the owner, Jim Escobar on the same day. One bike for my trainer and the other for the road.
I chose the Optimal Bike Fit service because I had a lot of issues going on. My wrists hurt, and my hands would go numb. My feet suffered from hot spots and tingly toes on my rides. My right shoulder would really hurt after long rides, but NOT ANY MORE!
He is an expert at what he does. Not only did I learn that my handle bars were too narrow on one bike and wide on the other bike. We found the perfect size handle bars. My stem was too short, and my seat was too low. Lastly, I had crazy hot spots on my feet and he was able to correct that by adding shims to my road shoes.
Jim is extremely knowledgeable, and is generous to share that knowledge to help you be a better rider. He also gave me a lot of advice, and tips on the techniques I need to work on to improve my rides on the bike.
Thanks, Jim! I really enjoyed my bike fitting experience working with you. I can't wait to report how my rides have evolved.

Jim’s road bike fitting was the most thorough by far that I’ve experienced to date after two rough-cut fittings at different bike shops. He wasn’t snobby about my budget gear and didn’t push me to upgrade to an expensive new bike. (He did, however, give recommendations for an upgrade when I’m ready and *after* I asked him for it.)
First, he checked my cleats and adjusted their position in the sole of my shoe. Then he got to the positioning details on my bike, hooking me and my bike up to his Tacx trainer with Velcro dots at all of my “points”: wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle. He’d have me spin for a few minutes at roughly half of my full effort to record data, then stop me to make tweaks to the bike. He explained all the data on the computer screen so that it was clear to me, and suggested a positioning adjustment that I can make in tucking my butt under me more to avoid direct pressure on my soft tissues. (This takes some practice, btw, because it’s very sport-specific and not intuitive at all.)
My stem was shortened and my bike seat raised and moved forward just a little. I could feel the difference by the end, after 2.5 hours of fitting.
I’m so glad I visited Jim for this process! I strongly recommend this for anyone who’s experiencing any kind of bike discomfort. I thought my problem was my bike seat, but instead it was a combination of my engagement on the bike and how my bike components were adjusted to fit me and my optional pedal stroke.
If you’ve gone to multiple bike shops for help with fitting issues and haven’t found resolve, go see Jim!

Great experience! Jim is very knowledgeable and provided very valuable information about my body position. I felt much more comfortable on the bike after the fit. I wish I did this sooner!

Your first stop in your journey to purchasing a new bike should be meeting with Jim to get a proper fit. Very thorough and knowledgeable, I left with measurements that I am confident will lead to a great fitting new bike!

Came to Jim for my first road bike fit and absolutely loved the experience and the results. I was worried since some part of the fit relies on how I feel on the bike, and I wasn’t sure if that can be trusted since it is my first time on a road bike. However, Jim confidently and patiently guided me through the process, and I couldn’t be happier with how this new bike became my bike.

Had a fitting with Jim a month ago. The fit was incredibly thorough. Coming into the fit I would experience tightness in my back, soreness on my left hip, and occasional numbness in my arms on longer rides. I was a mess. I have been riding for a month since the fit, numbness gone, tight back is loose, and left hip has not been sore since. I am riding faster, longer, and with the same average heart rate. Jim has greatly improved my cycling experience. Thanks Jim, see you on the road.

Jim did a fantastic job of making sure my future bike purchase would fit me now and in the future as I get more comfortable on a TT bike. Very knowledgeable and I highly recommend for any triathlon or bike needs!

Thorough and knowledgeable. Fitted me for my Trek Speed Concept SLR 7 2023. I already feel and see the difference in my riding comfort and speed. I was humbled by Jim's expertise and knowledge in bike fitting and triathlon training. Highly recommend for those needing a fit or looking for what type of bike fits them best.

I recently had my bike fitted by Jim and was blown away by his expertise and professionalism. He used state-of-the-art equipment to perfectly fit the bike to my unique physique, taking his time to explain every measurement and its significance. Jim's years of experience were evident in his knowledge and advice on training, and I have no doubt that any level of cyclist would benefit from his services. Five stars all around!"

About 2 months ago I had my first bike fit. I did my research prior to choosing Pro TriFit, and after working with Jim I knew I had made the right decision.So many steps to a bike fit, he was never rushed and patiently answered all my questions…and there were many.I learned a lot about my bike setup that day and the changes made were definitely an improvement in comfort and power. I look forward to working with Jim again in the future.
