Joseph Trevor Wicks, widely known as The Body Coach, is a British fitness coach, television presenter, social media personality, and author. He was born on September 21, 1985, in Epsom, Surrey, England.
Wicks promotes a fitness method that primarily uses High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts. He initially gained traction by posting short, 15-second recipe videos and fitness content on social media, building one of the most followed fitness brands on Instagram and YouTube. He is the creator of the successful "90 Day Plan" which includes tailored workouts and meals.
Wicks is a best-selling author, starting with his debut cookbook, Lean in 15: 15-minute meals, which was a major success in 2015. His other works include cookbooks like Lean in 15: The Shape Plan and Lean in 15: The Sustain Plan, as well as children's books like The Burpee Bears.
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, he became widely known as the "nation's PE teacher" for his live "PE with Joe" workout streams on YouTube, which helped children and families stay active during lockdowns. For this effort, he was awarded an MBE in the Birthday Honours of 2020. He is married to Rosie Jones and has four children.
