Bike fitting is a choice… not a prescription. You are in control of your fit. And we will help you make the best choices, for your goals, budget and ambition.
This is personal… We treat every rider as an individual and provide a personalised solution. This is not a digitised, cookie cutter process.
Done with integrity… Honesty is integral to achieving results. As your trusted partner, we tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
More than just fitting… Our extensive network of physios, S&C trainers, coaches and movement specialists at your finger tips.
Real world testing… We take a “coaching” approach to bike fit, where we can keep advising you based on your feedback from riding your bike in the real world. This way you can keep developing and improving over time.

On the recommendation of Brixton cycling club members I booked a bike fit with Matt. I had not quite expected how thorough and illuminating the 4 hours would be. Matt has continued to engage with me over saddle and seat post lay back options to accommodate me and the bike frame. Very highly recommended!

Amazing. I have been riding road bikes as fast as I can for over a decade. Despite that, the session with Matt was a revelation. If you are looking for “free watts” *and* a more comfortable ride, whatever kind of machine you ride, you will find both here. I am just kicking myself I did not do this a few years ago. Thanks to the Foundation team!

I’ve had the pleasure of having an ongoing bike fitting service from Foundation Fit since November 2022. I was free to ask Wei any questions over email and every reply was comprehensive and helpful. Wei ultimately helped me with my cleat position that solved my knee issue and answered any worries I had about potentially fitting aerobars.

It is natural to think ‘Will this really work for me?’.
Our track record with thousands of riders proves that if you work hard and commit, you will achieve remarkable results too.
But if you are still unsure, here are some of the biggest self-imposed barriers our successful clients overcame to start their bike fit with us.
It’s so common for riders to think that they need to be a professional athlete to benefit from a bike fit. This couldn’t be further from the truth. 99.9% of our bike fits are done with amateur riders. Anyone who values their riding and rides their bike regularly can benefit from a fit. You make around 10,000 pedal strokes an hour. Would you rather repeat 10,000 good pedal strokes, or 10,000 poor ones? No brainer right?
We are different. Our whole fitting ethos centres around providing as much knowledge as we can to our riders, so you can truly understand why certain choices will work for you and others won’t. The more you know, the better decisions you can make, for you! There is no ‘secret sauce’ we are hiding, just honest, education and guidance. Our track record backs this up!
How much does your bike cost? How much do your wheels cost? How much does your cycling wardrobe cost? Yes, cycling can be expensive, but a bike fit is the best value investment you can make for your long term health and riding. It will last you years, it will enable you to travel thousands of kilometres, it will help you become stronger, fitter and stave off injuries. And you can transfer it from bike to bike. Bike fitting is not sexy and it is not easy. It requires time, hard work and commitment. But the rewards are ten-fold. Remember, nothing really worth doing is easy!
Cycling is a low impact, repetitive sport, conducted upon the most efficient form of transport known to man. This means you can get away with repeating poor movement patterns for years and your body will easily find a way to absorb that additional poor movement stress. Some bodies are better at dealing with that additional stress than others. But the more stress you load onto your body, at some point it is going to catch up with you. Trust me, I’ve been there myself and part of the reason why I became a bike fitter. The other constant that you should be aware of is that our bodies change. You body is not the same as it was 5 years ago! Bike positions should change to match your body, your mobility, your abilities and your current riding goals. If you need help figuring this out, seek advice from an expert, come get a bike fit.
We know that our processes and methods work because it has been proven across 1000s of cyclists. However it does take two to tango when it comes to bike fit. Good results can only be achieved if both fitter and rider are willing to work at a problem and explore all potential solutions together. This is why we describe our fit process as a partnership. Bike fitting is not a simple magic bullet or a prescription. But if you’re willing to be open minded, come with a learning mindset, work hard and take control of your fit, great things can happen! But if you’re having doubts or still have any questions on your mind, you need to answer these before you commit to a fit. Email us anytime: info@foundation.fit or call Wei on +44(0)7891 063 994
It might sound obvious but the key difference is in the time. If you are a committed athlete and you really want to get into the nitty gritty of how to get the best from yourself, then 4 hours gives us enough time to really understand your riding aspirations, fully explore all the variables on the bike, provide an insight into your biomechanics on & off the bike and put together a long term plan for improvement.
We also include a FREE 2 hour follow-up session (worth £200!) with our Performance session as we understand that bodies take time to adapt and train into new positions. This gives us the opportunity to keep improving your position as you develop and become a better cyclist!
We understand that not all cyclists are motivated or ready to commit to investing in a Performance Fit which is why we offer the 2 hour session. The 2 hour session will still allow us to make the best of what you have, but this might not be “ideal”.
But the 4 hour session offers much better overall VALUE. Investing more in the present means better results in the future.
Whatever you do make sure you get a fit of some kind or you’ll be working harder than need to!
