Went on first session and all measurements were corrected. Got a saddle to try but it was not so good, schedule a second saddle swap, and Pat did a second review of measurements and seat height, reach and drop adjustments.. it made a HUGE difference.. much faster on the bike now and engaging the right muscles. read less

Why did I bought stuff that was not good to me? could have saved so much money !!-> First: It works !!went to Pat because I had a Knee pain on the long rides. That is gone !!-> Second: Bike sensationIs only after this bike fit I truly feel like in control. Pat define it well, you feel like in a F1 car cockpit. one with the machine :-)-> Third: least but not last .... HumanePat was Sooo so good.To talk to a specialist that actually cares, takes time to explain and explore best options is exactly what you think you won't get as it's too ideal.But most important you are a great chap, with whom I'd happily take more than 1 pint :-)Hope you recover soonBest wishes read less

We got on immediately as he has a brilliant sense of humour and through all his many years of experience and putting himself in the pain cave knows how to get the best out of you. He is a first class bike fitter as well and I have worked closely with him through lockdown where his has created bespoke training plans for me as well as joining his remote group zwift training rides. He is currently helping me navigate a return from injury. If you are looking for a super experienced cycle coach to get you fitter and stronger on the bike whilst having a laugh then speak to Pat. Can t recommend him enough! read less

He never hesitates to respond to my bizarre queries about cleats, saddles and how aero is too aero!? Going from a triathlon newbie on a road bike to now a top performing age grouper on my beloved TT is a testament to Pats fitting skills and patience!I met Pat in the summer of 2016 and we had a group of triathletes training together at indoor bike power sessions on the Wahoo KICKR snaps. Pat would lead the sessions and adjust everyones power on the turbos throughout the class pushing us all that bit harder each week. We would have some fun doing the power tests, especially trying to beat each others average watts. The motivation of training with a great group really helped me prepare for events over the winter months. read less

We undertook a bike fit, metabolic VO2 testing and started on a comprehensive training plan that saw me finish in 4hrs 45minutes and a top 15 position in my age group. Since that date and through Pat s coaching and smashing laps with him on the original Ironman UK course in Sherborne, I have completed numerous half Ironman s, Ironman s and time trials with the highlights being coming second overall at the Enduroman Half Ironman in Lanzarote and winning my age group at Challenge Henley Ironman. I have represented GBR at short and long distance triathlon at an ITU level as well as in duathlon also.After three years away from the sport to focus on work and get fat, I am now back training with Pat and with the focus on winning some more time trials and getting to Kona for the Ironman World Championships read less

He is intuitive and always a step ahead when it comes to tailoring my training programmes. In just one training session, he fixed my insecurities about being on my aerobars and in four months, I was able to race Ironman Italy 2017 more confidently than all my previous Ironman races. Moreover, I was able to maintain the aero position for the majority of the bike leg, all thanks to Pat s help with a bike fit.Pat is personable and professional at the same time and always takes a sincere interest in my development as a recreational triathlete. I ve trained under many coaches in the past and I can say most unreservedly that Pat has been my best coach ever ! read less

I m a middle-aged office worker with simple enough goals cycle to stay fit, do the odd sportive, and cycle on my holidays in the summer. As someone who has suffered from back and neck problems over the years, Pat has helped me massively with a professional bike fit, saddle advice, technique sessions and strength / core exercises.I ve attended his cycling camp in Lanzarote with a mix of elite cyclists/pros all the way down to my level Pat finds a way to make the routes/sessions work for everyone and creates a great team spirit and sense of fun among the group. Pat, a former pro himself and one of the early adopters of training with power, has the expertise and character to help all levels make progress on the bike. I must say i look forward to our endurance rides outside a bit more than our 20 minute FTP power tests! read less

I ve had a few proper bike fittings over the years and they are always a good investment, and the fact that Pat knows competitive endurance racing inside out just seals the deal. Work with Pat and you ll ride and race faster and more comfortably. Being co-located with a top physiotherapy clinic is also a win, for those times when something just isn t working right.Since the pandemic hit, Pat has upped the ante on virtual training, building a great community around Zwift rides to keep everybody focused and progressing despite the obvious challenges. In other years he organises great training camps in Lanzarote or Mallorca.I ve made good friends through Pat s coaching group and happily introduced friends to his services. Some of those guys are seriously good athletes and it has been a pleasure to meet and train with them. Pat works hard to help and cares about your progress. He doesn t charge the earth and he keeps everything fun and lighthearted so you don t end up taking things too seriously.If you want to improve in cycling or triathlon, do yourself a favour and start here. read less

He worked tirelessly to prepare me for two 8 day road cycling tours of the alps and has more recently trained a group of us virtually helping to build our strength and improve our speed. Pat's attention to detail means that he tailors each and every workout to the individual and focusses on where we need to improve and how best he can help do that in a kind and supportive way. Training with Pat has hugely improved my cycling but also taught me how my body works on the bike so that I can keep working to get stronger. I can't recommend him enough! read less

I thought it would be a great idea to get a professional opinion in order to put my mind at ease or make suitable adjustments to my current set up.After a full assessment on a turbo trainer, measuring and photographing my position on the bike. Pat proceeded to adjust the bike to the maximum the bike would allow. Pat then rephotographed and measured the new position.Following the assessment Pat produced a full report and sent it over the following day. The assessment/report proved that the bike was too small. I subsequently presented the report to the bike manufacture and they replaced/upgraded the bike following the inconvenience. I now need to book in with Pat to get the follow up adjustments to ensure the new bike is optimally set up.A fantastic and professional service. I would thoroughly recommend Pat if you are looking to adjust your current bike or if you are looking to splash out on a brand new toy. 5* read less

I requested for the Retul 3D Bike Fit. As my cycling duration increased my level of discomfort increased. I suffered from lower back pain/ache, knee ache, sore sit bones, hand and arm fatigue and inability to maintain my position on the hoods.After the assessment and 3D analysis Pat made numerous recommendations. Changed saddle height and saddle tilt, new saddle (properly sized), new pedals, new insole for my bike shoes, changed handlebar tilt. He also made recommendations on my riding style. Explained how I can make adjustments (if required). Explained the Retul report in detail.I went for my first century ride 100mile (160km) on 30th August and it was an incredibly comfortable ride! No sore sit bones or back/knee problems and riding on the hoods or drops is not an issue.Pat is highly experienced Bike Fitter, with great communication skills and I can whole heartedly recommend him. read less

The combination of a physio and the riding analysis was for me, a perfect combination, and the feedback from Anita (the physio) and Pat informed the adjustments for a higher ride height and a wider saddle. They seem like small adjustments bit even the ride home was a pleasant relief. read less
