Channel 4 commissions Joe Wicks: The Body Coach 2017 following the success of Joe Wicks: The Body Coach.
Joe Wicks, known for his easy fitness and healthy eating regime on social media and best-selling cookbook Lean in 15, will front new health and fitness series which will see the public enrolled on Wicks' popular regimes.
Joe Wicks: The Body Coach saw Wicks train ordinary people over 30, 60 or 90 days to show them how to achieve their body goals.
Following the success of the show, Wicks will return to Channel 4 with a new two-part series.
In Joe Wicks: The Body Coach 2017, Wicks goes in search of volunteers who are willing to commit 90 days of their lives to his regime, which consists of a mix of healthy eating, home cooking and intense but short HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workouts.
Wicks will help individuals to achieve a healthier lifestyle and boost their body confidence through his unique fitness regime and quick and easy recipes.
“Getting lean and feeling great is something everyone anywhere in the world can relate to," said Joe Wicks. "Gone are the days of spending endless hours in the gym and eating tasteless food for weight loss.
"My programmes show you how to combine the right exercises with the right foods at the right time to achieve the body that you want. I can't wait for these shows to go global and help spread my message to every corner of the world.”
Joe Wicks joins FMI’s catalogue of culinary stars, which includes Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Jimmy Doherty, The Hairy Bikers, Lorraine Pascal and Martha Stewart.
Colette Foster, Creative Director Full Fat TV, said, “These shows combine a fresh look at diet and exercise with a rising charismatic talent, Joe Wicks, who has already made such a phenomenal impact in the digital space and with his books. Joe Wicks: The Body Coach was a hit when it aired in the UK and we’re delighted to work with FremantleMedia International to take this, as well as the new shows, to viewers all over the world.”
