Our take

The Body Coach is on a mission to help people feel fitter, healthier, and happier. At the heart of the bran is founder Joe Wicks - a fitness influencer with over 4M followers and a channel 4 show under his belt. His relatable, no-nonsense approach to fitness has made him a household name and the driving personality behind the company.

What sets The Body Coach apart is its all-in approach to health and wellness. From personalised training programs delivered through its app, to bestselling cookbooks and daily workout videos on YouTube, the brand supports people through every step of their fitness journey.

It gained national attention during the pandemic with its "PE With Joe" YouTube series, keeping everyone moving at home. More recently, the launch of The Boady Coach for Work brings its mission into the workplace - encouraging companies to prioritise physical and mental wellbeing. With a strong foundation and a passionate community, The Body Coach looks set to keep evolving and expanding its impact.
