“Ron designs a program that fits with my schedule as a busy professional, not what he believes my schedule should be. More important is that he listens to me and gives me feedback based on my assessment of my workouts. When I meet my performance objectives he can explain why in simple terms, and if I’m not performing well, he can show why things aren’t as bad as they seem. In short, he’s not just a coach, he my fitness confidant.”

Patrick Brady, Editor in Chief of Asphalt Magazine.

“Peterson Training… my hat is off to Ron, who has me on a great training schedule. I highly recommend him if you are looking for improvement. He can get as detailed as you want, he is a race tactician and has a great deal of bike fit knowledge. I owe him big for that 14:32 hill climb the other day.”

“Jim, … Thanks for the opportunity to work with Ron Peterson over the weekend on my bike fit. You guys run a first class operation and Ron was a pleasure to work. Now it’s up to me to make sure that all of Rons adjustments and efforts pay off.”

“The riding will be for 11 days straight and include an enormous amount of climbing. What do you think? By the way, my knees no longer hurt on rides…the first time in years! Thanks!!!”

“Hi. This is Laura. You did a bike fit for me last Friday. I have been meaning to tell you some good news. Two weeks before the fitting, I rode a 29 mile route in about 1:56.. averaging about 14.5 mph.. Last sat after the fit, I did the same route in around 1:36 and averaged 17.2 mph… so… thanks…”

“Hey Cycling Club, … Ron does an excellent job fitting folks to their bikes. He takes the time to explain the biomechanics of riding and why the fit is the way it is. Over time, it eliminated the saddle soreness and the numbness experienced while riding on the bike. Apparently, you’re supposed to be able to ride without discomfort…who knew! It’s only understandable to spend the money to get the bike fit to you, if you’re going to spend any time at all riding it! If you’re not efficient (and not comfortable) on the bike, you won’t ride it as much as you should. So get the fit! It’s worth it! Happy Training”

“I’m going to have to second RoseAnn here. Before I got fit, I was more than skeptical of the concept of a “bike fit.” I was feeling pretty comfortable and decided that there was no way in hell I’d ever shovel out money have some screws moved on my bike. I ended up having Ron fit me anyway and can honestly say that it’s worth every penny of the $200 some people would have to pay. Trust me, you’ll feel the difference right away (or in a few days) and as a bonus, get an extensive lesson on cycling biomechanics.”

“I’d highly recommend you do this, whether you are a serious or   recreational rider. I’m pretty much a serious recreational rider J and had fits for both Alex and I performed. We are both blown away at the difference it makes. We’re both very comfortable on the bikes, have better positioning, improved our cycling and can now complete our rides without any shoulder, knee discomfort or hand tingling, etc. The $200 is money well spent for the sheer pleasure of enjoying long rides. Neither one of us will ever make the categories, but we are riding  more comfortably. I also improved my commute time by over 5 minutes without any additional effort, in fact probably put in less effort and I rode a lot ‘smoother’ without jerking my foot, which was one of the things I was doing previously. Ron not only fits the bike to you, he’ll also give you tips on your riding position/style, etc. He explains more of the mechanics of riding and does so in language easily understood by non techies or non bike geeks like myself or to bike geeks like my husband. Both Alex and I feel as if we have ‘new bikes’ and love riding more than we’ve ever done, which is something I really didn’t think I could do/say. I’m climbing hills, which is something I wasn’t comfortable doing before the fit. Granted, I’m not a decent climber by any stretch of the imagination, but at least I feel better and more confident doing so; I’m in more control of my bike, rather than feeling that the bike is controlling me or I’m barely hanging on to the bike, especially when descending. I was leaning too far forward, amongst other things, so the fit really improved by positioning.”

“Ron, …  Thanks for solving my problem.  Over a year ago I made the mistake of going to a “former pro team guy” from the San Diego area for a bike fit and wound up with a years worth of achilles problems before realizing my bike might be causing the problem. Luckily the light bulb came on and I booked an appointment to have you look at my set up.  It’s been almost two months since you made the proper adjustments and I haven’t had even the slightest twinge in my achilles.  I will never go anywhere else again.  Thanks again”
