XOXO, Cody

An Opinionated Homosexual's Guide to Self-Love, Relationships, and Tactful Pettiness

De: Cody Rigsby

Narrado por: Cody Rigsby

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The beloved Peloton instructor chronicles his journey from small-town North Carolina to New York City stardom in an empowering story that reveals his secret to success: not taking yourself—or life—too seriously.

“Reading XOXO, Cody is like hanging out with that friend who makes you laugh and can open up their heart to you.”—Phoebe Robinson, New York Times bestselling author of Please Don’t Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes

Cody Rigsby has a lot of opinions: Kevin is the hottest Backstreet Boy; grape jelly is a crime against nature; if you wear flip-flops in New York City, you do not love yourself. But if there is one opinion—one truth—that he holds above all others, it’s that we shouldn’t let the fear of looking stupid 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 accepting himself, from growing up gay and poor in the South to his migration to New York City, where he went from broke-ass dancer to fitness icon. He intimately details what it was like to lose both his father and best friend to addiction and how he began to repair his relationship with his mom as an adult. He recounts his time working at a nightclub on the Lower East Side and his decision to audition for Peloton on a whim, and dishes about competing against Sporty Spice on Dancing with the Stars.

With raw and inspiring stories about learning how to handle the scary sh*t, XOXO, Cody is a bold and heartfelt reminder that sometimes laughing at yourself is the best medicine. Remember: It ain’t that deep, boo.

Way to go, Boo!!!

Loved every minute!! Thank you for sharing your story with us!!!! We’ll written and performed!! So happy I got to listen to your voice reading your story!!

A Fantastic Dessert Book

This book was a fantastic dessert book. An unexpected window into the story of one of my favorite Peloton instructors. This one has everything…personal struggles, sacrifice, laughs, heartbreak, hard lessons, and inextinguishable optimism. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You will too.

Amazingly and simply Cody!

I really appreciated how open he was in this book and it flowed so well! I feel like I really know him and I love his insight on everything! It was equally inspiring as it was eye opening ! I love my boo!

Love ya boo!

I was not ready to love this so much. I am a huge peloton member. I ride and lift on a daily. Cody how ever isn't one of my go to instructors. Don't ask... I just have my favorites and hes not one of them. BUT! Of course I was going to give his book and audible a fair chance at life. I had no idea about his struggles as a young adult, and if this wasn't what I needed to hear to go out and take chances and shoot my shot I don't know what could have been. Great story teller, good at connecting with his audience and decent audible readback by Mr. Rigsby him self. I am defiantly going to take more of his rides! XOXO -LB

Forever a Stan.

Listened to this audible is one day.
So entertaining, and also got very emotional. I enjoyed every moment.

It’s like talking with your best friend

There’s no other words needed. The best 6 hours of listening in a long time.

Yesss Boo!!

I really enjoyed this book! I laughed, shed some tears and felt empowered at the end. Cody connected in ways that I hadn't expected honestly and I truly appreciated it. Loved the sprinkling in of the XOXO questions/relationship advice to keep it lighthearted when the book got a bit heavy on the emotional side. Great job Boo!

Love 💕 Love

Loved to hear the story of Cody. Very motivating and kept my attention. Would highly recommend

He’s that bitch. And so are we all!

Cody’s book is a delight! Even when it gets serious, there is so much to learn. I’m a fan of his Peloton classes and now a fan of his life experiences. Do yourself a favor and listen! He always has plenty to say! Enjoy XOXO!

Hilarious take from our Boo

Cody is 90% of the reason I bought with peloton a few years ago. His classes ALWAYS make me laugh. I absolutely LOVED this book. It's fun and light hearted with some great takeaways.
