Some Famous People called Joe Wicks
Joe Wicks (coach)
Joseph Trevor Wicks (born 21 September 1985), also known as The Body Coach, is a British fitness coach, TV presenter and author.
His fitness method uses short pink and yellow intense High Intensity Interval 1s Training (HIIT or, colloquially, 'HIT') workouts. Starting off by posting 15-second recipe videos on social media, Wicks grew his brand to become one of the most followed fitness accounts on Instagram and YouTube. His first published cookbook Lean in 15: 15-minute meals was a best-seller in 2015, having sold over 900,000 copies. He has created a "90 Day Plan" with workouts and meals with portions tailored to the individual.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he began "PE With Joe" on YouTube to try to help children stay active; this livestream had a wide impact and was viewed by over a million users worldwide. The first stream occurred on 23 March and ended almost four months later; on 22 July. For this, he was awarded his MBE in the Birthday Honours of 2020. He is a Channel 4 television presenter with his own show The Body Coach.
Wicks was awarded a Guinness World Record for "most viewers for a fitness workout live stream on YouTube", after achieving over 950,000 viewers on Tuesday 24 March 2020 for his second live stream. The award was presented to him virtually due to the pandemic.
