Description

If you haven't jumped on the Peloton train yet, you're missing out. Ever since I hopped on the bike for my first class in 2016, it's changed my life in an exponentially positive way. One of the trainers that I've stuck with from the start is Cody Rigsby, Peloton's resident source of positive vibes and Britney Spears energy. There's so much to be said for possessing the power and somewhat of the responsibility to inject a daily dose of happiness in the lives of the Peloton community and Cody Rigsby is a prime example of that.

His journey hasn't been the most straightforward one. After graduating from University of North Carolina at Greensboro, he dabbled in marketing, fashion and dancing, which ultimately because his passion pursuit before clipping onto the bike and changing his life, and the lives of many, in an unparalleled way. How did he get to Peloton exactly? You're going to have to listen to the episode to find out. ;)
