Maxine and her crew are amazing! I cannot recommend her fitting services enough. Maxine is a master of her craft and a true bike-fit geek! I have an engineering background and LOVED how much time Maxine took to explain things and make sure I truly understood the logic behind certain fit decisions, bike recommendations, seat recommendations, etc. After all was said and done I ended up on an Argon18 Krypton with an amazing SQlab saddle that fit my body stack & reach to the single millimeter! Amazing! After ~200 miles on the new bike riding is a night and day difference from my old bike that I was not fit very well to. My shoulders, lower back, and hips have not been overly sore or tight after rides now that I am in a proper position. If you're on the fence about doing a bike fitting my only recommendation is DO IT! Especially if you are shopping for a new bike. It was worth every penny!

If you're looking for a skilled bike fitter in Michigan, there is nobody better than Maxine. We are lucky to have her here in SE Michigan! I was looking for a bike fitting as I was returning to cycling after a couple years hiatus due to knee pain. After two months back in the saddle, I could feel various pains in my knees returning. While I knew this could be caused by ramping up my intensity too quickly, I also understood the importance of having a bike that fits your anatomy and physiology, so I scheduled an appointment. I was a little anxious going into the appointment but there was absolutely no need to be - Maxine is very friendly, empathetic, and fun to talk to, and immediately put me at ease. She was candid about the fact that while a poorly fitting bike can cause pain, it is oftentimes caused by additional issues with muscle tightness or weak supporting muscles that need to be addressed. The appointment began with her asking about the specific problems I was experiencing and my goals followed by taking various body measurements. As the session went on she clearly communicated what she was doing and why as well as providing insightful answers to dozens of questions I had. While I was right about some adjustments that needed to be made (such as raising my seat), I was dead wrong on others (such as needing a shorter stem) and so I'm glad I held off purchasing a new stem, saddle, or bars in the meantime. Additionally, I don't think I ever would've gotten my shoes and cleats setup correctly on my own. By the end of my appointment with Maxine my position on the bike felt both stronger and more comfortable. But the real test was taking it out on the road: after riding the bike with Maxine's adjustments for a month now, including a 40-mile and a 50-mile ride, I am happy to report that I have had absolutely ZERO PAIN on or off the bike and I am looking forward to even longer rides. I cannot recommend Maxine's bike fitting service enough - and I will likely consult her before purchasing any future bikes. THANK YOU MAXINE!

Maxine is a true master of her craft and gets amazing results. She approaches each fit as a puzzle to figure out what's going to work best for your body and style of riding. She brings a wealth of knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, bike industry trends and history, mechanics, and so much more into the process. And on top of that she's a lovely person who is fun to hang out and chat with (which means a lot when you're in for a 3-hour fit session)! Overall such a great experience, highly recommend.

Can't wait to take my girl for a ride after my fitting! You will not find a more professional, knowledgeable, and overall great person to do the job. Cycling is an investment and a good fit makes a world of difference. Thanks Maxine! ❤️🚲
