Would you like to shock your faster riding buddies as to how quickly you close the gap to them or complete a century or a multi-day event sooner than you ever imagined possible while crushing your Strava PR's? Many of CoachBrinton's novice riders have completed a century (100 miles ridden in a single day) or multi-day endurance event within 2 to 4 months.
Devoting so many years to racing at pro and international levels provides me with experience that a coach can not gain without being there themselves. On the flip side, top athletes don't always make great coaches. Just like racing, it takes many years to develop the experience and diversity to help experienced racers achieve the next level.

I've had 2 bike fittings with Coach Brinton and also took one of his foot-float drill courses. I did one comprehensive fitting over a year ago when I was very new to road cycling, and another today when I got a new bike. His attention to detail and knowledge about the nuances of proper bike fits are rare and genuine.
David has gone the extra mile every time I've seen him and has even been helpful with any questions I've had for him outside of our sessions. He's extremely reliable, knowledgeable, and has an undeniable passion for helping all of his clients.

I've loved riding my bike since I was a kid, but I'm far from a professional cyclist. It's more about having fun and getting out of the house. However, due to some old injuries my chiropractor suggested I get a professional bike fitting, to make it even more comfortable.
Not knowing anything about bike fitting, I googled it and found Coach Brinton. As first I was intimidated because I'm not a competitive cyclist, I'm just an average person. However, he had good reviews, so I took a chance.

I came to see Coach Brinton after suffering injury on the bike from an ill-fitting riding position. He gave me excellent insight into why i was injured in the first place, redid my bike fit, and also gave me a training plan to get over my injury. He was really clear and patient with all of his explanations and the goal was to get me riding again, in a sustainable way for my body. Overall a great experience and will be following up for pedal mechanics etc in the future.

I recently had my first cycling lesson with Coach Brinton and found it incredibly valuable. I am relatively new to cycling and didn't have much knowledge of road safety prior to this lesson. Coach Brinton rode with me on both a bike path and road with a bike lane and gave me pointers on when to ride single file or next to other riders. As someone who is typically hesitant about riding alone, Coach Brinton helped me move toward being more comfortable on the road.

Although I had biked on my own for several years, and had bought a road bike several years ago, I was never comfortable having picked it up as an adult. After not cycling at all during the pandemic I decided to go back to the basics and found Coach Brinton cycling. It was and continues to be a great choice for me. After a bike fit, I am more comfortable on my bike and his coaching style is a great fit for me. He is incredibly encouraging and really has taken me through the basics such clipping in/out, which previously caused me so much anxiety I had given up on it completely and standing out

Coach David Brinton is not just an excellent bike fitter but also an extraordinary coach with impeccable skillset and knowledge in cycling. I started cycling 3 months ago and only after 5 sessions, I am already able to ride with speed and confidence, and attend group rides such as Montrose rides and Rapha rides. As a first time cyclist, my form, skill and performance have all improved within such a short period of time due to his patience, professionalism and intense training. I highly recommend Coach Brinton for his immense passion and unmatched expertise in cycling.

Found David on his website for a bike fit. That was awesome- never felt better on a bike. Started doing some of his training routines and in less then 3 months have seen a 30 percent sustained max power increase. My pedaling mechanics, sprinting skills, attacking power, drafting and flatland speed have increased. David is definitely dialed in on skill development and strategy for all types of riders and a really nice person. You will not be disappointed.

I have had a few bike fittings in the past but nothing quite like Cycling Coach Brinton’s bike fitting. Just within a few moments of meeting coach Britain, I knew I found the right person. His attention to detail his insight, knowledge and the way he went about educating me and explaining why he was making certain changes made me feel extremely comfortable. After my first ride I had no pain in my knees and felt like I could have gone another 50 miles without stopping. Coach Brinton did tell me I was wearing one size shoe too big. ( I have since corrected that issue). If you’re looking to increase

David is a good guy, however, you need to be aware of the possible misunderstandings that may arise with his service.
I originally had a bike fit with him around June of 2020, it was for a Cervelo tri bike, the fitting went amazing and it made a huge difference.
In November 2020, I decided to upgrade to a newer bike. Since the original fitting went well, and his website stated that additional bikes will be $100 (see pictures on the review) I saw no reason for doing the fitting again.
After the fitting was done, he informed me that the price will be the same as the first one "since we lubricated

If you're looking for a high-quality bike fit, Cycling Coach Brinton is your guy.
He not only pre-fit me to figure out what size bike I should buy (it was going to be my first ever road bike, and the right size wasn't obvious), but also dialed in my fit on the bike I ended up buying.
He was also an available resource over email, more than once, when I had specific bike-fit questions before and after he fitted me to my bike.

Coach David is not only a genuinely good person, he's also a VERY experienced bike rider/stunt man. He has great command over riding a bike and he also has a great command of being able to explain how to be a better/faster/safer bike rider. He's able to mimic what you are doing wrong, so it's like looking in the mirror. His method allows you to fix your posture and how to correct yourself. If you need a bike fit or want to improve your experience on a bike, then you need coach David in your life.

I started bicycling just a few weeks ago at age 68. This is money well spent. Dave provided me with a focused and exceptional professional bike fitting and bicycle mechanics explanation from the start. Objective, humble and no ego. His goal is to help the student achieve their maximal gain in ability, knowledge, performance and satisfaction. Will return again and again as often as my busy schedule allows. Highly recommend Dave.

I was looking for a cycling coach to take my cycling up to the next level and was lucky enough to find Coach Brinton. I've been amazed to see how many small and big areas of improvement about my fitting, cycling technique and riding skills Coach Brinton has been able to identify in a short amount of time, and even more amazed at how much better I feel on the bike from both a comfort and performance standpoint after addressing those areas.
It's great to get instruction from someone with such a wide breath of knowledge about the sport - from body mechanics to racing strategy.

Coach Brinton did an amazing job helping me choose the correct frame size for my bike as well as building it for me. He then gave me an awesome bike fit and answered a lot of my questions pertaining to the world of road biking. I also learned a lot from my techniques session with him, and will definitely be coming back for more lessons!

I'm a total beginner in cycling and quickly realized that theres really not many resources out there to learn about the sport other than riding by yourself or try to ride in a group (who are usually more experienced and will usually not wait for you). When you look for cycling classes, its usually the "spinning classes" that shows up. So i'm very happy to meet and learn from Cycling Coach David Brinton. His Fast start program is a must for beginner (or even intermediate) cyclist as he goes over the fundamentals of cycling, safety, techniques and how to achieve your goals

Coach Brinton is a true professional. Before I came to him my wrist/back/knees were hurting! Turns out my bike was just fitted poorly as the reach was too far. I was extremely impressed with the fitting process and his knowledge. During the fitting you can see your power/watts increase as adjustments are made. There's no point in riding around in pain. He will get your cleats, seat, handle bars and overall positioning dialed in. He can measure you before you purchase that fancy bike, or after to make the adjustments that you need to stay comfy and motivated to ride your bike. As a former

I have been riding for a long time and for the past few years I did not feel 100% comfortable on my bike. I'm getting older and I didn't want to risk an injury that will keep me off my bike. I contacted Coach Brinton and went in for a bike fit. It ended being a extremely informative fitting and consulting session. Coach Brinton took time to listen and explain every setting, adjustment and the pros and cons. 30 minutes into the session I immediately felt a difference on the bike trainer. I immediately signed up for a follow up session to work on my pedaling technique. I highly recommend

Coach Brinton is very knowledgeable and takes his time with his clientele. He is very patient and thorough and wants to get to the root cause of your issues and pain points. Although he doesn't use any fancy computers to do his bike fits, his methods are proven and it's apparent after going on a few rides after our session. He even takes the time to follow up with you a few days post-fit to make sure the changes he has made have had a positive impact on your performance and comfort. Thanks!

Coach Brinton is the real deal - he takes great care to make sure your bike fit is perfectly suited to your body, and he spends time talking about how each measurement and adjustment will affect your riding and posture. He taught me so many ways to increase my efficiency as a rider, including pedaling procedures, way to approach hills to conserve energy and work on my cadence, and he walked me through even levels of sports nutrition that were super helpful for me.
But more than that, he provided me with enormous confidence on how to approach cycling as an amateur rider. I just completed a 550

I found Coach on the web when I was looking for a good bike fitting. I have always been a bit wary of bike fit guys at the local shop who do not have a lot of accomplishment in their background as they may be helping me out of a textbook rather than their experience.
Coach certainly has plenty of experience in cycling and cycling coaching, just read his bio. We spent a couple hours talking, fitting the bike, discussing various issues, and riding together all for a price about the same or a bit lower than my local shop. The best part
