Cody Rigsby: The Peloton instructor who became the main character
Peloton trainer Cody Rigsby may be the first celebrity to be launched by exercise equipment. The trained dancer, 38, spent several years working as a fitness instructor for Peloton, which allows for live classes like the ones Rigsby hosts. He found himself labeled the “King of Quarantine” during the COVID-19 pandemic. His high-energy classes prominently feature his personal observations and propulsive dance music, often powered by pop divas such as Britney Spears. He's racked up 1.7 million-plus followers on TikTok and Instagram, and become a brand ambassador for companies as disparate as Kashi and Taco Bell. He also shares his dishy thoughts on dating and pop culture on his podcast "Tactful Pettiness," with co-host Andrew Chappelle.
