Joseph Trevor Wicks MBE (born 21 September 1985), also known as The Body Coach,[1] is a British fitness coach, television presenter, social media personality and author.[2] His fitness method uses High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts.[3] Starting off by posting 15-second recipe videos on social media, Wicks grew his brand to become one of the most followed fitness accounts on Instagram and YouTube.

His first published cookbook Lean in 15: 15-minute meals was a best-seller in 2015, having sold over 900,000 copies.[4][5] He has created a "90 Day Plan" with workouts and meals with portions tailored to the individual. Wicks was awarded a Guinness World Record for "most viewers for a fitness workout live stream on YouTube", after achieving over 950,000 viewers on 24 March 2020 for his second live stream.[6]
