JOE WICKS HAS claimed a Guinness World Record after one of his online fitness classes was watched by nearly a million people.
The body coach’s class on 24 March was broadcast to global audience of 955,158, which was enough for Guinness to hand him the record for most viewers for a workout live stream on YouTube.
He said: “I had no idea that when I went live on my YouTube workout on 24 March, that we were actually setting a world record.
“So thank you to everyone that tuned in – I’m so proud that this is our record, and we can remember that day as the moment we got the most viewers for a live work out.”

Yesterday, Wicks also celebrated reaching 2.2 million subscribers on YouTube after seeing his fitness videos grow in popularity during the coronavirus lockdown.
He said that he had seen a “mindblowing” increase in subscribers after almost tripling his figure of 800,000 from three weeks ago.
He shared an image on social media of him posing with a golden YouTube trophy, which is in recognition for him passing the one million mark.
He wrote: “Look what just arrived. My gold play button.
“Three weeks ago I had only 800k subscribers and today I have 2.2 million which is just mind blowing.
“I’ve worked so hard on this since I shared my first workout video in 2011.”
He thanked his brother Nikki Wicks and “best mate” Dominic Seymour, who he said help him film, edit and share his workouts.
The Body Coach, who hosts online workouts for children at 9am each day, said that the “next stop” was to reach 10 million subscribers.
The fitness guru has previously said that he is donating the money raised from his online PE lessons to the NHS.

Bye and thanks for the many laughs on here, Capt. Adebayo, you legend!!
He must have gotten himself a girlfriend and she’s off barking orders
Apparently Capt Adebayo Flynn has run into a bit of bother, some people aren’t happy with his decision http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO12Ba5PwMA
Hilarious!!
That’s brilliant!
Love it! :)
Ha ha. He will be missed.

long life and prosper, Capt
The capt had the ladies wrapped around his finger
He’s some character. Pity there arent more like him on here. Its all cranky b******s now :)
I’m far more upset about Adebayo leaving than i should be…its worse than when Robbie left Take That!
Oh Captain, my captain?
(Standing on chair, fist over heart, sigh)
Captain for president , let’s vote him in ….
Didn’t know the Captain had quit. Very funny guy and genuinely insightful.
Good luck, Captain!
After all the love from the women Adebayo is likely to come back in a new twitter life as Commander Adebayo Flynn!
Say it ain’t so captain. Say it ain’t so:( sobs.
So long Captain, your posts are always top quality and good craic! Call back soon!
He’s not calling back, ever.
He’s just too strong.
*denial, tears, anger, acceptance, pride*
Farewell Adebayo, you legend! A great aul character…
Why has he left?
So long Capt and your legacy will remain.
Lelsie, lets ratchet it up a gear.
You did good captain, consider yourself promoted to commandant.
I guess it’s up to Leslie Alan Rock to shepard the flock now…
Oh god not Lesley Alan Moron, nobody wants his input
I disagree with you.
I find Leslie’s posts quite good (and God knows I have had a few run in’s and don’t always agree)
Thank you michael. ..onwards and side wards I shall lead you
Let’s Rock Leslie ;-). Take no prisoners.
Personally I thought “capt” was an ass hole. :)
how do you quit an online forum? Surely it’s accessible from anywhere in the world (and on ISS)?
have your say
