The beloved Peloton instructor chronicles his journey from a small town in North Carolina to New York City's glory in an empowering story revealing the secret to his success: not taking yourself—or life—too seriously.

Cody Rigsby has many opinions: Is Kevin the hottest Backstreet Boy? Are raisins a crime against nature? If you're wearing flip-flops in New York, you don't love yourself. But if there's one opinion—one truth—he holds above all, it's that we shouldn't let the fear of looking ridiculous or being judged hold us back from living our best lives.

Cody didn't always feel this way. In XOXO, Cody, he opens up about his journey toward self-acceptance, from his life as a gay and poor kid in the southern U.S. to moving to New York, where he went from broke dancer to fitness icon. He shares personal experiences of what it meant to lose both his father and best friend to addiction and how he began to mend his relationship with his mother as an adult.

He recalls his time working at a nightclub in the Lower East Side and his spontaneous decision to audition for Peloton, and shares his rivalry with Sporty Spice on Dancing with the Stars.

With candid and inspiring stories on how to tackle the scary stuff, XOXO, Cody is a bold and relatable reminder that sometimes laughing at yourself is the best medicine. Remember: It's not that deep, babe.
