It’s not where. It’s who. In the world of fit school’s you will find different beliefs and philosophy’s. Start with things you believe in I’m putting on a weekend event November 6&7 in Philadelphia. And you will learn about hand on techniques that will make most flat surfaces capable of in to fit stations This is part t of th expo the fit course is free. The range is class runs from dis ability to inability. Any questions reach out.

I agree with Happy, part of fitting is finding OR ADAPTING a fit system that works with what you know. I am Retul/Specialized trained, but I have made some changes to how I fit and deviated from their playbook on things I have observed or learned over the course of some years. New thing I have to convince the boss to spend money on is that I believe saddle pressure mapping has a place in my fitting system.

Are you willing to relocate? East Coast? Like the Atlanta area more specifically? If so I’d love to chat, would train you in the Retul methodology, pay very competitive and great benefits.
Cheers
