3D motion-capture fit technology is part of what makes our bike fitting so good — but for the cyclists and triathletes we've fit across Northern California for more than two decades, there's more to the story. Much more.
About
Athleticamps is based in Folsom, CA, and for more than 20 years we've been fitting cyclists and triathletes from across the Sacramento region and throughout Northern California. We combine Retül 3D motion-capture technology with two decades of hands-on fitting experience to create a precise, comfortable connection between you and your bike. Our services cover every point of contact between rider and machine — from foot and cleat alignment to saddle selection to a full, whole-body, in-motion bike fit.
Whether you're riding out of Folsom, Sacramento, Roseville, or Auburn — or you're willing to travel from further afield in Northern California for a fitter with real tenure and a track record — our process is built to solve real problems: numbness, knee pain, back pain, and lost power, not just adjust your seat height.We also offer a dedicated new-bike-purchase fitting service, so your next bike is the right fit from day one.
Check out our blog post to find out what makes our comprehensive bike-fitting process such a stand-out solution.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our fitting process. Or you can schedule an appointment directly with the following link:
"I love the new bike fit! Completed the metric yesterday with no problems. Left knee doing great and the angle for my foot change you made I believe is the main improvement. My pedal stroke is so much better! Thanks for all you do to make cycling even more fun and pain free" - Bill (Sacramento, CA)
“Just wanted to say thank you again Athleticamps. The fit could not be better and I’ve done a few test rides on familiar routes so I have comparison. My comfort is so much better, my climbing feels more natural and my pace is faster. This is exciting and motivating!” - Thomas (El Dorado Hills, CA.)

Achieving the right balance between comfort, power, and aerodynamic performance is a delicate process that demands a bike-fitting professional experienced in working with triathlon bikes and athletes. At Athleticamps, we bring more than 20 years of experience working with triathletes and a comprehensive, multistep process that achieves an ideal fit. Each bike fit includes these steps:
Interview – To learn about your cycling and triathlon history and goals, fitness profile, and physical issues.
Biomechanical assessment – Developed by a physical therapist, provides a cycling-specific analysis of flexibility, functional strength, posture, and positioning.
Foot analysis– FootBalance individual arch assessment and foot-type analysis.
Retül Zin measurements – Taken before, during, and after your fitting, creates detailed measurements of your bike with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Retül 3D fit technology – Our motion-capture technology fits you in three dimensions simultaneously while you’re pedaling.
Post-fit recommendations – When needed, recommendations for off-bike work to improve your on-bike comfort and performance.
Comprehensive report – Complete report of 3D and 2D body parameters, 3D bicycle fit coordinates (Zin), and bike-frame geometry
Follow-up appointment – If needed, free follow-up appointment within one month or 10-15 hours of riding with your new fit.

A new bike is a major commitment. Fitting on our Retül Müve adjustable bike removes a lot of the guesswork over which brand and frame model of road, tri, mountain, gravel, fixed gear, or cyclocross bike will work best for you. If you’re considering a custom bike, a Müve bike fit provides data that ensures a fit worthy of the investment.
The Müve bike works in conjunction with Retül 3D motion capture system to collect dynamic data and make adjustments to create your optimal position. Your two-hour session takes you through a process similar to our bike fitting for existing bikes, except on our Müve bike. At the end of the fitting, you’ll receive a detailed report of the findings that you can take to your bike shop or give to your custom bike builder. And when your new bike arrives, we complete your service by checking and adjusting it for the perfect fit.

We’ve all heard about or experienced the thrill of a new bike wearing off fast because it’s not as comfortable as the bike that just sold. So here’s a way to avoid that. Bring us your bike that fits just right and let us utilize our Retül system. We’ll capture the measurements down to the sub-millimeter level and adjust your new bike so that it’s a perfect match.
A critical component of any cyclist's comfort and performance on the bike is the saddle. The better a saddle fits an individual, the more comfortable that person will be while riding. This directly translates into riding faster, stronger, and longer, as well as not encountering lingering issues off the bike. As professional bike fitters, we have seen the effects of a poorly fitting saddle on many cyclists:
General sit-bone pain
Pubic area numbness and discomfort
Saddle sores
Sciatica-foot pain
Hip-alignment issues
Loss of power
Most cyclists have experienced the need to shift around on their seat to find a place that alleviates soreness and/or numbness. If a saddle doesn't fit properly, no amount of shuffling and repositioning will provide long term comfort or relief. The subsequent adjustments made to avoid the pain typically put the cyclist out of their optimal position on the bike and can lead to other problems. This is not something a cyclist has to endure and should not be considered as normal or part of the cost of riding a bike.
Choosing a saddle is a very personal decision and no one saddle is right for everyone. Further, finding the best option takes time on the road, not just a few pedal strokes on a trainer. We understands this and will work with you to find the right saddle and fit options so that you can ride pain free. Let us help you make the right decision for you.
In-office Appointment
Use either your own bike or our adjustable Müve bike to try saddles. Our staff will interview you and help determine which saddles would possibly work. You can then try them in office and, if you choose, check them out to test demo on the road.
Takes approximently 1 hour
Cleat position makes a big difference in foot comfort and pedal stroke efficiency, and getting it right is all about your biomechanics and the type of cycling you do. The variations are endless and very particular to every rider. At Athleticamps, we take cleat positioning seriously and offer years of experience working with cyclists across the spectrum. Cleat adjustments are included in our full bike fitting service, and also available as a standalone service.

Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. When this foundation is misaligned or functioning poorly, the effects can be felt throughout the body. Over 75% of the population suffers from overpronation or excessive supination, yet most of us are unaware of our own foot type and how it affects our bodies. Our technology and experience gives us the ability to diagnose issues and custom craft a product in just minutes that will address comfort, power, and efficiency issues, allowing for a more relaxed and powerful foot that improves structural alignment in any shoe, across any sport, and meets the demands of any lifestyle.
Most cycling and running shoes come with inexpensive and flimsy insoles that give little if any foot support
Most over-the-counter insoles don't take into account that your feet are different from each other. Does it make sense to trust your foot comfort to symmetrical insoles when your feet are asymmetrical? We solve that issue because each foot is customized separately.
We urge you to try our insole solution before installing popular wedges and shims into your shoes. The foundation of support is the foot itself and not a wedge or shim that changes the biomechanics of the foot/leg/hip/back chain.
We invite you to book your 20-minute appointment and see why any one with two feet and thirty minutes benefits from a pair of FootBalance custom footbeds. It’s time to save your soles!
Appointment includes:
Individual arch analysis
Foot-type assessment
Heated custom molding
Ready in 15-20 minutes
Inserts can be made for cycling, running, skiing, tennis, fitness, golf, hiking, and any of your regular shoes. For your appointment, please bring the shoes that are being fitted and socks that match the activity.
Bont is an Australian company created in 1975 by Inze and Sara Bont. The business was born out of the couple’s interest in ice speed skating. At the time, ice skates used leather uppers that were too supple for Inze’s liking. He started experimenting with fibreglass for increasing support around the ankle of the boot and found it improved his performance. Soon he had many requests for fibreglass boots from his friends and it was enough to inspire a small business.
Once established, Bont Skates grew to the point where Inze was making up to 200 pairs of boots a week. He pioneered the use of cutting edge materials such as Kevlar, Velcro, neoprene, carbon fibre and heat-moldable thermoplastics during the ‘80s and ‘90s. His designs were quickly translated for roller-skating and inline-skating, and the company became the world’s largest producer of handmade skating boots.
Bont started working on a cycling shoe in 2007, adopting Inze’s one-piece construction method and heat-moldable carbon fibre for the outsole. Olympic athletes played a key role in the product’s development and once released, the A1 was immediately noticed for the stiffness of its sole. There was also the novelty of a heat-moldable shoe.
Bont’s range of cycling shoes has grown considerably since 2007 under the direction of Sydney-based CEO Steven Nemeth. There are now shoes for road, track, off-road, and triathlon in its current catalog. Bont also has an extensive custom shoe program that allows customization of the shoe’s appearance as well as its fit.
The fee covers the cost of the molding and ordering process for fully custom cycling shoes.
