From what I have seen they have trek basic fit (the only thing it doesn't include is the motion capture) which is $150 and the the trek fit with motion capture which is $250. This trek fit actually seems good.

I can confirm - the motion capture was valuable at helping the tech align my pedal cleats to minimize lateral strain across the pedal stroke.

Steve at Bike Effect
Highly recommend Steven Carre at Bike Effect in Santa Monica (have not worked with the other fitter, Ron).
He is a guru, and I largely think that while advanced fitting systems are great, ultimately the fitter determines the true quality of the fit.

The Trek Bicycle Superstore in San Diego has Trek Precision Fit. That is, assuming you can make it all the way back there from drooling on all the awesome bikes they have on the showroom.

Dave is very good. It will take you several drives.
Took my son there - fitted him on road and TT bike over 3 months and worked on pedaling technique.

For a 1st fit a machine/Retul may be good. We wanted the more nuance/expert based hand fitting.

Hey so I did my bike at ero sports with Jim manton and he is a good bike fitter we ultimately had to lower my saddle. Y a lot and had to switch from 100mm stem to a 120mm he also corrected my knee tracking, he is very knowledgeable in the bike fitting aspect ,,
5 stars on the bike fit, i feel like we could have spent a little more time fine tuning. But over all bike fit did make a huge difference with power and comfort.
