Endeavor Performance’s Indoor Training Sessions are run on Racermate’s Lab model CompuTrainers which are calibrated for a higher degree of accuracy. The sessions are administered through CompuTrainer’s MultiRider software with personal attention given to each athlete by Todd Nordmeyer. This format allows for a group training environment based on power and heart rate that is unparalleled any where else is Tennessee.
Owner and coach Todd Nordmeyer, in the last 20 years, has approached the sport of cycling as a student and as a professional. Moving to Nashville to race on a local start-up team, Todd has competed at the elite level since 1985. In 1997, Todd raced for the G.C. Sonego squad based in Treviso Italy. Todd has 39 elite/pro victories and has captained three squads to 90 victories and over 130 podium finishes. He has won Tennessee’s Best Area Rider Competition in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003 and won the USA Cycling’s Master Nationals 30-34 Best All Around Rider in 2003.
Beginning in 1998, Todd expanded his focus to include coaching competitive and recreational athletes. Since then, Todd has continued to leverage his knowledge, passion and expertise to assist others in fulfilling their endeavor to develop as athletes. Todd’s strength as a coach is his ability to foster success with increasing confidence, accountability and personal awareness in the athlete.
