The Body Coach’s Growing Influence in Wellness

Joe Wicks, widely known as The Body Coach, has established himself as more than just a fitness coach—he’s become a global motivator, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who has transformed how millions approach health and wellbeing. His unique combination of sports science knowledge, approachable personality, and dedication to helping others has made him one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry today.

Landmark Festival at Kew Gardens

The highlight of Wicks’ 2025 calendar is his festival at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kew Gardens, scheduled for July 7, 2025. This groundbreaking event, hosted by the beloved fitness coach who won hearts through his ‘PE with Joe’ workouts, will take place within the stunning 320-acre botanic garden, home to over 17,000 plant species. The festival promises a unique blend of fitness classes, wellbeing sessions, culinary experiences, and family activities.

Festival Highlights and Innovation

The event features four distinct zones: ReEnergise for fitness activities, ReTreat for relaxation and breathwork, ReConnect for inspiring talks, and RePlay for family-friendly activities. Attendees can look forward to meet-and-greet sessions with Joe, yoga accompanied by live musicians, a mass picnic-style lunch, and the largest ‘PE with Joe’ session to date, complete with a live DJ.

Business Expansion and Recognition

In addition to the festival, Wicks is confirmed to headline the 2025 Retail Technology Show (RTS), joining retail industry leaders including M&S Chairman Archie Norman and retail magnate Theo Paphitis. His brand has evolved into a multi-million-pound enterprise, employing dozens of staff and maintaining global reach across books, online coaching, and digital products.

Commitment to Social Impact

Wicks continues his charitable endeavors, having raised over £2 million for charity through his ‘PE with Joe’ workouts. He serves as Patron of The Amber Foundation, a youth homeless charity, which he discovered through his mother’s social work. He regularly visits their centre near Dorking, donating fitness equipment and providing guidance on physical activity and nutrition.
