Press Play Video Analysis

If you like riding faster with less pain this is the place for you. The bike fit is based on data collected while you ride the fit bike. You learn exactly what is and is not working while you ride. My first ride after getting fit I flew up Pinehurst faster that I ever had before. And the best part is that my back no longer screams at me when I’m on my bike.
I highly recommend you get evaluated by Press Play!

I have a lot of good things to say:
After getting a fit with Mitchell on my tri bike that I had been riding for two years with my own personal fit (no expertise) I now can say that I only feel comfortable and safe on this bike and this bike alone. No other bike I own or have ever ridden can actually be ridden for longer than a few days without me feeling some weird knee pain or neck thing. It’s only this bike I was fitted on at Press Play that allows me to ride for centuries without any pains. I never complain when I’m on my tri bike (a BMC), but on any other bike, you’ll hear me whining within half an hour.
The attention and care for detail Mitchell took was incredible. He was professional, personal, and just a fun guy to talk shop to as well. Mitchell is a racer. He is highly educated in kinesiology, experienced as a triathlete and competitive racer, knows the bike industry and the bike mechanics necessary to make the bike you own – not just a bike you ride on, but a bike that is yours and in a way, like a detachable part of your body. I am not exagerrating that when I ride my BMC now after this fit, it feels like I’m using just another part of my body that needs to get worked out.
I have since raced 5 triathlons after this fit and only saw progress in my ranking. I placed 5^th overall in Santa Cruz Tri with 3^rd overall bike splits and 3^rd overall at Pacific Grove. I also rode a double century from SF to Big Sur feeling as aero and as comfortable and natural as I have ever felt.
The saddle pressure technology allowed me to get the perfect saddle that I now ride only and exclusively. They even sold it to me there so I didn’t have to go online or go to a store later to find it. (Cobb Plus)
The foot pressure sensors were also super useful to help us dial in the final aspects of the fit. Mitchell showed me all the readouts and analysis of the cool technology that was used on me and my bike and it allowed me to not feel like there was some «black-​box» as to how I was being fit. Rather it was explained in plain English and it made sense as my bike was adjusted to my needs.
Now that I’m focusing on running this season, I yearn to get on my bike for recovery spins. Along with swimming, riding my bike after having it fit from Press Play is the ultimate way for me to recover. My bike doesn’t only not injure me – it now heals me.

As a triathlete I highly encourage triathletes and cyclists to go in a get evaluated by Press Play. If you are an experienced athlete who feels comfortable on their bike then Press Play may be able to get you more power without sacrificing that comfort. Riding a bike and experiencing pain in your knees, hips or feet? Go in and get a full fit to get you in that optimum position to avoid injury and help you ride strong.
I struggle with tight everything, hips, quads, glutes… Press Play’s fit got me into a position on both my road and time trial bike that has helped me deal with these issues thus allowing me to be comfortable and gaining more power. This just isn’t about getting your bike geometry into a perfect position. They really focus on individual mechanics, taking into account that you might have certain muscular or flexibility imbalances. So, in addition to a great fit they offer suggestions on how to deal with those imbalances.
If there had to be one downside it would be the cost. However, when people bring up the sticker shock I tell them they have a choice. Pay for a good fit now or pay more down the road in PT and ART treatments. Also, it’s not made very clear if tuneups are free or cost an additional fee if the initial fit needs to be adjusted. Still, If you are a cyclist or triathlete that has a few extra bucks do yourself a favor and spend it on a good bike fit with Press Play.

In a nutshell: Bike fit recommendations based on observation, experience, and more data on your riding than you thought possible.
I brought in my beloved custom-​built road bike for fine-​tuning my fit. Honestly, although I’d changed my riding style a bit, I was somewhat skeptical that these guys could improve anything. There was 3 or 4 hours of bike fitting geekdom with Mitchell and loads of data collection. (OK, honestly, how awesome is it to get reams of data on YOURSELF!!! They take video of you in addition to measurements of all kinds including left/​right power, saddle pressure, all sorts of angles, etc. Just looking at the data acquisition was totally fun.) And, after Mitchell did his thing, he spent another hour on my specific complaints, tweaking to find the right fit.
After making the recommended adjustments the bike handled only slightly differently, but the proof was in the first ride. My saddle didn’t numb my nethers after only 30 minutes. I seemed to take turns more confidently. And I PR’d without even really trying, by 4 mph, down Grizzly Peak (a steep, rough-​pavement white-​knuckle descent with cars).
Also, because these guys aren’t selling bikes or parts, they don’t have any incentive to sell you a new stem or a spendy carbon frame etc. They make recommendations based on what they think you need. Dr. Jess regularly gives talks at national cycling fit symposia — which shows that other pros respect these guys.
If you’re looking to get your new bike better fit to you, dealing with a nagging injury that changes your cycling style, numbers for a custom-​tailored frame, or to otherwise improve your performance on your current bike — I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys!

I went in for a bike fit with Mitchell Reiss. SUPER helpful. The bike fit is based on data collected and measured from your body dimensions. They want to find the best position for you on their Serotta fit bike, and then transfer it over to your bike. If you’re looking to purchase a new bike, they can find coordinates for you and you can take those measurements to a bike shop and find a bike with geometry that matches you. That’s about how well I can explain, but if you contact them they can do a much better job giving you details.
I’ve had hip issues, and it’s been beyond helpful to have the doctor and the bike fitter under the same roof, working together to keep me on the saddle, but healthy. Aside from the great technology they use to get you the best fit possible, the collaborative aspect (doctors working with fitters working with bike shops) of Press Play really stands out.
Lastly, for any cyclists out there who struggle with finding the right saddle (Princess & The Pea… anyone???) the saddle pressure system they hook you up to is amazing. I tried out 3 saddles, and we were able to figure out which saddle maximized comfort.
If you’re looking for a bike fit, I cannot more highly recommend these guys. You’ll never be happier on your bike than after a fit here!
They also do EMG censors for rehab exercises and run gait analysis.
