Alex Toussaint is known for his grueling workouts where he promises “to kick your ass” - yet thousands keep coming back for more. Why? Because he might be the most motivational teacher out there right now. His mantra is “Feel Good, Look Good, Do Better.” He expects more from you, and from himself. Yet so much of what he talks about is NOT about the bike.
Alex’s enthusiasm for life is infectious - “You woke up today!” “Breathe in confidence, exhale doubt.” Because Alex knows what it is like to be overlooked and undervalued, to be the underdog. He knows what it’s like to not expect the best from yourself. The child of Haitian immigrants who sacrificed so much to give him an education, he knows what it is like to be one of the few Black kids growing up in East Hampton. After a turbulent adolescence that saw him being sent to military school, Toussaint dropped out of college and was mopping floors at a gym. A few years later, he's one of the most iconic cycling instructors on Peloton, helping thousands of users along their fitness journeys through his inspirational workouts.
Finally, Alex gets off the bike to help readers activate their own greatness in every aspect of their lives. Part self-help, part memoir, Activate Your Greatness details Toussaint’s mental and physical practices, on and off the bike, that have influenced his daily habits, fueled his motivation, and ultimately contributed to his astronomical success - and he shows readers how they can do the same.
Alex Toussaint is a Senior Peloton Instructor and both a Puma and Hyperice athlete. A hybrid of high-performance athlete and motivational coach, Toussaint is a titan within the fitness community and is widely respected for his authenticity and positivity. He thrives at the intersection of fitness, tech, music, sports, fashion, entertainment, and community. In 2020, he founded the Do Better Foundation, whose mission is to promote and provide broader access to wellness services and resources.
