Alchemy Body + Bike uniquely provides the expertise of highly skilled manual physical therapy and the most technologically advanced 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 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”.

New Bike Purchase Bike Fit
If you’re 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 frames, crank length and major contact points, 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
Home Stationery Bike Fit
(Peloton, Stages, Nordic Track)
As you’re looking to increase miles in the off-season or just doing a quick workout, a fitting for your stationary bike can really enhance your home workout experience. This fit will address relevant history/goals for the rider and make all of the necessary adjustments for all major contact points of the bike (saddle, pedals, and cockpit). This fit typically lasts 1-1.5 hours. Please email ray@alchemybodyandbike.com for scheduling. $250
2 Bikes - Level 1 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. $600
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.
