John initially gave me confidence (without charge) to go ahead with new kit for an existing frame and once the works were complete, spent the time to thoroughly assess all relevant medical/ riding history, anatomically assess me and then set each individual component to suit my needs and riding style. All the while giving loads of information which I found really interesting and keeping abreast of all the incremental changes he was making. John was super in depth with great advice and I’m so happy with the outcome. Thanks for all your help John, I’ll definitely be recommending you to all the riders I know

Having putting off getting a proper bike fit for years I'm so glad I went to see John. He's extremely knowledgeable and experienced, friendly and patient, and very thorough in his approach with even a little coaching on position and technique. Already I feel much more comfortable and settled on the bike, little niggles have gone away, and looking forward to happier riding!

Stumbled across John a few weeks ago when I came into Winstanley bikes looking for a new road bike. He initially helped guide me with sizing recommendations and then once I had secured my new bike I had booked in for a medical fit.
I have to start this review by stating I am a very short (152cm) female who couldn’t actually sit on my XS Liv Langma bike due to the seat post being extremely high (even at it lowest setting) for my measurements. Heading into the fit, also as a beginner cyclist, I was extremely nervous but John made me feel immediately at ease.
We went through a series of questions, physical tests and measurements to gain a thorough understanding of how my body works and how this would translate onto the bike.
We then moved onto putting these measurements into practice and got on the bike and began adjusting. Starting with the seat post, moving onto the pedal and foot position and finally handlebars.
The difference in my riding from prior to entering the bike fit to leaving was absolute night and day. I entered feeling nervous, worried I bought the wrong bike and had a whole mixture of emotions. I left feeling comfortable in all aspects of the bike and cannot wait to get out on my first ride tomorrow :)
If you’re considering a bike fit with John, do not hesitate to get booked in, he truly is an expert in his field and lucky to have him on our doorstep!
Thanks again John :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for CF Bike Fit
I recently had a bike fit with John Hollingsworth at CF Bike Fit (based at Winstanley Bikes) and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. As a female cyclist who spends a lot of time on the bike, I’ve struggled with discomfort related to shoulder pain and niggling performance issues— but John’s expertise changed everything.
He is a brilliant, medically focused bike fitter with years of experience, and it truly shows. John was incredibly professional from start to finish, taking the time to talk me through every stage of his process. He explained the why behind each adjustment and was exceptionally skilled at understanding my unique body structure, flexibility, and riding style.
For the first time, I felt like someone genuinely understood how my body moves on the bike — and how to help me ride pain-free and more efficiently. I left the session feeling more confident, more comfortable, and genuinely excited to get back out cycling. I just wish i’d had a bike fit sooner.
I would highly recommend this service to all cyclists who want to enjoy their time on the bike, improve performance, and stay injury-free. John’s attention to detail and depth of knowledge make this a must-do for any rider. 🚴♀️💙

My chiropractor suggested the I get a fit from John at Central Florida bike fit. I did the 2 hour fit and could feel the difference right away. We ride about 25 miles twice a week and I have no pain and feel great on the bike. John was very thorough and took the time to fit me to my bike. My wife had also had a fit and feels the same that the fit decreases pain and allows for a better ride. Our advise - its worth it.

John came to my home and took me through his process of measuring and evaluating me and my bike. He made various adjustments, got me on the bike, measured and adjusted some more, all the while explaining to me what he was doing and asking me how each change impacted my riding and comfort. I'm not a racer, just a slow, steady commuter, but I could feel an immediate improvement when I rode to work the next day, both in power and in comfort. About eight weeks later, I am very pleased with the results. Given how much I ride my bike, it was money well spent. I would gladly call on John again and would recommend him to my friends.
[Update 14 months later: The lingering problems I wanted to solve are now solved. I no longer have a sore back that I need to stretch every 20-30 minutes or every time I stop at a light, and I no longer experience numbness in my hands when I ride. More importantly, the numbness that stayed with me when I was off the bike is completely gone. Thanks again, John!]

John is amazing! He has spent not just one time with me, but two other times as well to ensure my bike fit is perfect and fits my needs. I cycle almost everyday, so making sure the adjustments are fit to my size is important. John is very responsive and professional and I would not recommend anyone else but him in the Orlando area! He is also very flexible with time as well.

Amazing bike fit experience with John. I have been riding for 1 year and was mentally exhausted of riding with pain, feeling numbness, etc. every single ride. John assessed my current flexibility, did body measurements, including sit bones, and adapted the bicycle to fit my body. Since then I have been riding with comfort. He is very passionate about the bike fit process and making sure you will minimize pain and discomfort on the bike while maximizing your power output on the bike. John, will ensure that you are riding comfortably by the end of the bike fit process. If you wish to know what it's like to ride with comfort on your bicycle for hours and/or are interested in riding/pedaling properly/efficiently then I recommend you invest in the bike fit experience with John.

Where to start!! Being a massage therapist I understand how important it is for our body’s to move in it’s most natural form while performing activities to prevent injury and discomfort. I was currently experiencing discomfort while riding and didn’t feel “natural” while riding. Constantly having to shift in the saddle to relieve some glute discomfort and constantly change hand positions to load most of the weight on my shoulders to compensate for the numbness that was occurring down my leg. After being recommended to John from a triathlete, I was left in shock as to all the changes that needed to be made in order to get me riding in a position that was suitable for my body due to the imbalances and changes that have occurred in my body over the years that stemmed from a back injury years ago. John was able to help me get back to riding in the most comfortable position without having any discomfort and most importantly, keep a more consistent power output while on the bike. Anyone who rides a bike, any type of bike, and regardless of your level of riding, if you’re experiencing discomfort and want to be able to perform at your best while on the bike and be comfortable, then John is your guy. I couldn’t be any happier with the outcome and look forward to riding even more now than ever! Another great thing about John and central Florida bike fit is that, he came and did the bike fit right in the comfort of my own house. Couldn’t be more pleased with his service and his level of knowledge and professionalism. Thank you very much John!

I've used John for my last few bike fits. He's worked with me on road bikes, gravel and even my Wahoo Kickr. He's nailed it every time, allowing me to ride in comfort while not sacrificing power.
I can't recommend him enough. Every penny is well spent!

John is a knowledgeable and professional bike fitter. He took the time to listen to the challenges I had achieving a solid ride, and adjusted my bike so I could gain the most comfort. He was thorough and the adjustments he did greatly reduced the discomfort I was having riding. I highly recommend his bike fit skills.

John was a true professional and the overall experience was wonderful. 10 out of 10 would recommend seeing the “Bike Whisperer.” John ensured a proper fit by deeply understanding my bio-mechanics and past medical history, but more importantly, he restored the joy I’ve been missing with an improper fit. Thanks, John!!

Other than buying the bike itself, this is the best money I have spent on any bike-related stuff or service. John is meticulous and very detail-oriented. I had issues with hand-numbness, shoes hot spotting, and neck and shoulder aches on longer rides that have gone completely. This has been absolutely worth it.
