CORONABOBS ISOLATION DAY 125 – Diary of a Self-Isolator Saturday 25th July 2020
Gyms and swimming pools and leisure Centres are allowed to open up today for the first time.
Joe, Joseph Trevor Wicks (also known as The Body Coach) (born 21 September 1985), is a British fitness coach, TV presenter and author.
He worked as a teaching assistant after completing his sports science degree. After realising it was not his ideal job, he became a personal trainer for the next five years. Wicks received a major boost at the beginning of his business as he received almost £95k from his generous uncle Eddie, which reportedly he paid back within 3 years.
His fitness method uses short intense High Intensity Interval 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 tailored portions to the individual.
During the coronavirus pandemic lockdown 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. 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 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
He has achieved what I have attempted to do and failed through life. No, not make a Keep Fit Video.
My ambition has always been to make just enough money to keep my family comfortable doing what I love most, writing, and earning a comfortable living from it.
Sadly no matter how hard I tried it has not happened. So, well done Joe, against all odds.
He has a well-deserved holiday now but on the BBC i-player there is a Joe Wicks playlist of tunes. This is the list. There are some brilliant tracks.
Joe Wicks set to make £10million from lockdown, including £10k per Instagram post and £7,500 per YouTube video
