Check-Up Fit - Super Efficient, Focused Session

See my previous review for a fuller description of my experience, but I just went back for a less comprehensive and more focused 'check up fit' almost a year after my first visit to see Nuno and wanted to review that session. This visit was about optimising and confirming my fit for a few very specific applications on two bikes that Nuno fitted late last year. I used the 'Check Up Fit' service which is new this year and made a whole lot of sense given that I was a returning customer and we'd previously looked at my fit on these bikes. It was an extremely efficient session and we were able to get straight into the details because I already knew my fit was pretty close, and I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve. Nuno was, as ever, knowledgeable, thorough, and really effective at helping me dial into my fit goals. Along the way he also diagnosed a couple of new physiological imbalances that I could never have perceived on my own, so we also addressed those partly in fitting and partly in prescribing some mobility exercises. I'll reiterate the conclusion from my previous review - Orbis Lab is the place to go if you want really solid biomechanical-research-backed support and want to be an active participant in your fitting journey. The addition of the Check Up Fit service now also makes it much more efficient and affordable to make return visits to update and fine tune your fit on a regular basis. It should come as no surprise with someone in the science/health/fitness realm, but Nuno's COVID safety is good too. He has been very careful and considered in deciding how and when to reopen post-lockdown, and though we didn't actually discuss any safety measures on the day, everything you'd expect was in place (both of us masked, etc.)

Nuno was professional and friendly from…

Nuno was professional and friendly from the moment I walked into the lab. Giving a detailed explanation of everything that he was doing, he made sure I was comfortable with all aspects of my examination and bike fit. What really impressed me was how honest he was and how knowledgable he was on how my specific injury affected the way I rode. In addition, Nuno didn’t seem to judge at the fact I was a novice to cycling and the fact I was female. I will definitely be back for his expertise! Thanks Nuno!

Pre-Buy Fit - Excellent service, Highly recommended

Took my son for a pre-buy fit to ensure he was getting the correct frame size, cranks, bars, stem & saddle. Nuno is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and great at explaining everything. He’s clearly passionate about what he does, and my son thoroughly enjoyed the bike fitting. He’s so looking forward to coming back for the final fitting when the new bike arrives. Highly recommended. Thank you Nuno.

Great experience with a knowledgeable Individual

I went to see Nuno after a couple of solid recommendations to fix some issues that I have on the bike, very insightful and to my surprise the issues weren't what I thought they were! No inherent issues with my bike setup which his gadgets and saddle pressure mapping showed to be spot on but some valuable input into some previous injuries that are causing me to compensate and knocking me off a bit - the benefits of a PHD in Biomechanics I expect! Little tweak to my cleat position and solid advise on shoe sizing was great. Very chilled atmosphere and Nuno takes pride in his work taking the time to discuss and explain everything to you. Luckily I didn't need to trial any other saddles but he had several available if that had been the case, no pushy sales pitch here just a good experience to dial in on the bike. His motto was, enjoy the ride and leave the rest to him :)

Unbeatable service and knowledge.

Nuno was incredibly attentive throughout the bike fit and has a great eye for detail. His explanations on how to resolve issues were full of useful information and it was highly enjoyable as well. I would absolutely recommend his high quality service at a fantastic price.

Exceptionally professional service and…

Exceptionally professional service and I also learned so much about my cycling physiology from from head to toe (literally!). Would highly recommend bike and saddle fitting service.

Brilliant - without doubt the best.

Nuno is an expert in his field. A very experienced rider, an athlete and a powerhouse of knowledge. Going for a bike fit with Nuno was just what I needed. His expertise covers everything from the type of exercises you should be doing to maintain your cycling and general fitness right down to the width of shoes, which is often overlooked in other, less thorough bike fits. Brilliant all round. Would highly recommend.
