I got a pamplet in a race bag for Silicon Valley Cycling Center (SVCC) in Campbell, CA.
http://www.svcyclingcenter.com/services/bikefits.php

Any reviews? Says they offer F.I.S.T. Fitting. I've never been through a full blown fitting, besides a initial purchase fitting (since then added clip in pedals, tri seat, profile design complete aero bar setup). Also says they offer Dartfish Pedal Stroke Video analysis. $290 for 2-3 hour fit. Is it worth the money?

Any other commendable Tri Fitters within a 60ish mile radius of Monterey?

I've got a local A race in a month and am shooting for first in the AG. Thanks.

Seems very pricey, Ive had a power fitting and been hooked up to a computrainer and spent a good 1 1/2 hours doing a complete diagnostic fitting due to injuries and I thought that was long! He even drove to my house and the cost was 150. Cant imagine that any fitting is worth that much! There are better deals in that area I'm sure.

You could check out Front of the Pack in Palo Alto. I am getting fitted there next week to find out what frame will offer me the optimal fit. The cost is $200. They are F.I.S.T certified as well.

They do two types of fit, one to find out which frame offers you an optimal fit, or if you already have a frame they will fit that one to you.

It looks like FOP and SVCC have the only FIST certified fitters in the area, at least based on the Slowtwitch database.

I am sure you can find other fitters closer to Pac Grove that use a different method that may be cheaper if your not stuck to the FIST sytstem.

Call up Gary of Bici Bikes in SoSJ.  I doubt he is certified but I have no doubt he has the utmost knowledge and expertise.  His is a small one-man shop catering to high end roadies and some tris.  Some local AG winners are regulars there.

He's very low-key non-excitable kind of guy.  Knowledgeable and helpful in his steady way.  Call and tell him your goals and ask if he has interest/time to fit you.  You are not just another customer at his shop, he is a bicyclist and wants you to be too.

Are you doing Pacific Grove?  I'm doing IMWI that day, but my sons will be doing PG.  They are both defending champs in their AG - for the sprint.   Good Luck!

My bike was fitted at Calmor in Santa Clara.  About the same price, not sure if it was worth it - I'm still tweaking it.
