About FITLAB

FITLAB in Fairfax specializes in the kind of cross-training that cyclists need but rarely do on their own. Their class offerings focus on flexibility, mobility, and functional strength - exactly the areas that suffer when you spend hours hunched over a bike.

The stretching and recovery classes are particularly valuable for cyclists. Long hours in the saddle tighten hip flexors, hamstrings, and IT bands, and FITLAB's instructors understand these cycling-specific issues. Their approach combines elements of yoga, Pilates, and physical therapy into classes that directly address the imbalances created by cycling.

Located in Fairfax, FITLAB is perfectly situated for Marin cyclists. Many riders combine a morning ride with an afternoon recovery class, using the off-bike work to complement their on-bike training. It's the kind of investment in your body that pays dividends on the next big climb.
