The Body Coach and social media sensation Joe Wicks toplines Retail Technology Show 2025 as keynote speaker

Fitness coach and entrepreneur, Joe Wicks, has been confirmed to headline Retail Technology Show 2025, which will take place at London ExCel on 2nd-3rd April.

Rising to fame through his platform The Body Coach, which delivers workouts and nutrition advice, Wicks gained a sizable following across online and social. This following grew exponentially during the Covid pandemic when PE with Joe, his daily YouTube exercise videos for kids, saw him dubbed the ‘Nation’s PE Teacher’, breaking a Guiness World Record when almost one million people tuned in for a single live fitness class. 

Beyond this, Wicks has sold over four million cookbooks focused on healthy eating.  He has partnered with retailers, including Asda, where he collaborates on budget friendly healthy recipes for school children and appeared in the grocery giant’s latest Rollback ads, as well as recently popping up as a guest investor on Dragon’s Den.

Speaking on the Spectacular Headline Stage on day one at Retail Technology Show, Wicks joins Customer Whisperer, Kate Hardcastle, for a fireside chat discussing the art of brand building, the role of fitness and wellbeing in driving motivation and the importance of cultivating resilience. 

Drawing on his experience in building a digital health and fitness empire, Wicks will explore how retailers can effectively use social and emerging channels and apps to connect with customers and reach new audiences.  He will also discuss how retail leaders can support wellbeing in the workplace and strategies for retail workers in staying motivated and resilient.

He will join over 125+ senior retailers and brand leaders speaking on the RTS conference programme, including M&S Chairman Archie Norman, retail magnate Theo Paphitis, and Gymshark’s former CEO and Chair, Steve Hewitt.

Matt Bradley, Event Director at RTS, comments: “Joe’s famed for his A-game energy, making him the perfect headliner to match the verve and vigour we’ll be bringing when our carnival of retail comes to town in April.  As well as hot-takes on how to scale digitally native brand platforms across channels, his insights on the importance of fitness and wellbeing to drive greater productivity and resilience is certain to be a standout session.”
