About
Fit Werx is a specialized bicycle fitting studio and bike shop operating since 2001 under a 'Rider First' philosophy. Unlike typical bike shops, Fit Werx conducts independent rider assessments separate from any specific bike, ensuring each fitting is tailored to the individual's unique physiology, goals, and riding style. Services include new bike fits, existing bike reassessments, custom cycling footbeds, and AiRO CFD aerodynamics testing for performance-oriented riders. Their fitting process is built on proven biomechanical assessment techniques — many of which Fit Werx helped pioneer — to address comfort issues, overcome injuries, and achieve measurable performance gains. Beyond fitting, Fit Werx offers a curated selection of bikes, wheels, power meters, and accessories, with sales guided entirely by fit data to ensure every bike truly matches the rider. Their career mechanics provide professional bike builds and setup services with a zero-defects commitment. With two locations — Danvers, MA and Waitsfield, VT — Fit Werx serves triathletes, road cyclists, and enthusiasts seeking to maximize their riding experience. Consistently rated 5 stars, the team is praised for expertise, patience, and delivering real performance improvements.
