Here is everything you need to know about him...
Who is Joe Wicks?
Joe Wicks, 33, is an online fitness and diet guru who has launched his own books and TV show.
With a mission to “get people moving and eating healthily”, Joe has gone from a personal trainer struggling to make ends meet to a multi-millionaire.
The online nutrition coach was raised in Epsom, Surrey, and decided that he wanted to work for himself – rather than at a gym “getting paid peanuts”.
At the start of his career, he set up his own company, based in Richmond, South-West London, hosting boot camps in a local park.
But the fitness coach's success came when he discovered the power of social media.
In 2014, when Instagram introduced video, Joe began uploading various motivational clips about fitness and nutrition to his account.
Once he gained popularity, he managed to turn his social media success into money by coming up with a 90-day exercise and nutrition plan – the 90 Day SSS.
Today, he has sold over 110,000 plans, boasts over 3.1 million Instagram followers, has a six-book publishing deal following impressive sales of his first two books and even had his own Channel 4 TV show up until 2018.
What is Lean In 15?
Lean In 15 is the name of Joe Wicks’ popular book series.
The books contain easy recipes for healthy meals that can be made in 15 minutes, as well as workouts that take the same amount of time.
15 seconds was also the length of the Instagram videos that Joe originally put out – and is a slogan that became popular when he first started posting online.
His books sold over one million copies in less than seven months - more than any other author in 2016.
Wicks stayed with the 15 theme with his latest book released in May 2020, Wean in 15: Weaning Advice and Quick Recipes.
Most of Joe’s books focused on providing quick, healthy meals and HIIT workouts, but his 2016 book Cooking for Family and Friends had a more laid-back approach to cooking.

Where and when did he marry Rosie Jones?
In June 2019, Wicks married Rosie Jones, a glamour model and former page 3 girl, in an intimate woodland ceremony alongside their closest friends and family members.
The fitness fanatic was the first to share the exciting news with fans on Instagram shortly after his wedding with an official photo from the occasion.
His caption read: “Just married. Having such an amazing day so far with all our family and friends.”
The Sun exclusively revealed the couple were dating in September 2016.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in November 2018.
Joe wrote: "...My Mum and Dad never got married when I was growing up and spent my whole life separating and getting back together and I always thought I didn’t believe in marriage."
"But I now know what it means to want to stick together and to love someone enough to want to marry them."
When was their first baby born and how many children do they have?
Rosie Jones gave birth to the couple's first child, a baby girl called Indie, on July 30, 2018. Joe announced the birth on his Instagram and revealed his new daughter weighed 7.2lbs.
The couple had a second child, a son named Marley, on December 14, 2019.
Little Marley was born three weeks early and weighed just 5lb 14oz, Wicks revealed on Instagram.
On Mother's Day 2020, Wicks posted a tribute to his wife on Instagram thanking her for showing him how to be more patient and understanding with his two young children.
