COACHING & FITTING SERVICES for CYCLING and MULTISPORT ATHLETES
Sept 22, 2011
JHPS MA & Parvilla Cycle & Multisport are pleased to introduce the GURU Dynamic Fit Unit (DFU) to their PowerFiTTE program. Parvilla is the only store in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and DC to have the DFU. It is the first and only computerized robotic assisted bicycle fitting system in the USA. With patented drivetrain, motors, actuators and proprietary software; the DFU has revolutionized the fit process by drastically increasing efficiency and by creating an interactive experience for the client.
Parvilla Cycle & Multisport owner, Stu Waring personally fits each client drawing on his 4 years of fit experience and training under legendary cyclist and master fitter John Howard, Trek’s Michael Sylvester, Chris Nurre from Bike Fit Kit and triathlon wizard Dan Empfield. Using this knowledge, Stu works closely with each client in the fit process using the DFU to manipulate the rider's position while they are pedaling. At no point is the rider asked to disembark from the unit to change positions of handlebars, pedals or seat position. The actuators take care of all of these actions automatically. Client position is recorded with video capture software and a Computrainer allowing adjustments to be refined down to the millimeter in order to achieve the perfect fit, optimized for power, cadence, position and most of all, comfort. All DFU fittings are fully documented for future visits and come with 6 months of follow up.
To schedule a DFU fitting or consultation, please call us at 443-949-7130 or send an email to: info@parvillacycles.com

BIKE FITTING ---GET FiTTE - GO FASTER!
Fitting is the cornerstone to being efficient on your bike. While nearly every bike shop and fit studio offers some version of "bike fitting," our goal is simple: to provided the most comprehensive approach to balancing your body and your bike using a sophisticaed and objective process.
We work by appointment-only to ensure the best possible individualized service
We schedule only one fit per day.
We do not limit the time we will spend on a client's fit.
We do not adhere to any one fit system, but combine the best aspects of many.
We are committed to on-going education and development of our skills, technology and knowledge.
We are not "bike industry lifers" - we've actually paid full-price for fittings & products so we understand the challenges of working 50+ hours a week in high-pressure, senior-level jobs while at the same time still trying to get the most out of our cycling experience.
If you are considering a new bike, JHPS Mid Atlantic works with Parvilla Cycle & Multisport who offer some of the finest road and triathlon bikes made, bar-none: custom and stock bikes from Guru, Orbea, Eddy Merckx and stock bikes from Giant. No matter what your budget, we can recommend the best option and tell you what needs to be done to get you to the best fit on that bike.
We work with products from MAVIC, ZIPP, SRAM, Campagnolo, Shimano, 3T, Profile Design, Ritchey, and American Classic to name just a few.
