Thanks to you and everyone that has taken part and watched the #PEWithJoe workouts... we've together raised just over £80,000 for the NHS 🙏🏻
The fitness guru has been around for some time now, with a string of hugely successful cookbooks, a fitness DVD, private clients and those all important social media partnerships, and worked with brand ranging from Microsoft and Uncle Ben's rice.
With his own profile in Forbes, making the 'top influencers' list, Joe is worth an estimated £14.5 million.
We'll let that sink in for a moment!
As one of the biggest names in the UK right now, it's little surprise he's had such a successful career previously, and let's be honest, he's become an absolute favourite of the mums, some of which kick back on the sofa and just watch him do his workouts!
My mum and her mate are on FaceTime to each other saying how great Joe Wicks’ workouts are. They watch every day and DON’T DO THEM but think the whole thing is so uplifting that it’s the tv focus of their day I cba
