Since Boris Johnson revealed the UK would have to follow lockdown rules in order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, fitness fanatic Joe Wicks, also known as The Body Coach, has been keeping the nation fit with his daily PE classes on his YouTube channel.

After revealing back in April that he would be donating any profits from the classes to the NHS, Joe has now revealed the final total raised, after successfully running 78 classes over the last four months.

Sharing a snap of himself, his wife Rosie, and his two children Indie and Marley, Joe revealed he has raised an incredible £580,000 for the NHS.

He wrote, '78 workouts, 80 million views, 2,271 years of total at watch time 🤯, £580k raised for @nhscharitiestogether ❤️🙏🏼 Thank you so much for being a part of #PeWithJoe 🙌🏽 I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I have loved it and am sad it’s over for now. Don’t worry I’ll be back again soon 🌍 Lots of love the Wicks Family'. (sic)

Fans of the nation's PE teacher were quick to comment on the post, one user wrote, 'You've been a breath of fresh air for us all! I've started your 90 day plan and you are so funny and down to earth in all the workouts. You have been an inspiration to many. Enjoy the break with your lovely family. Cant wait to share my progress as a 90 day graduate 💪cheers Joe! 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿'. (sic)

Another wrote, 'This is mega. Congrats on your hard work buddy', with a third writing, 'Amazing. Well done 👏👏👏'.

Another then added, 'Amazing! 💗 we shed a tear at the end it’s been our one constant through all this thank you 🙌🏻 xx'. (sic)

The 33-year-old was awarded with a Guinness World Record last week, after his class on Tuesday 24th March smashed viewing records for a live workout on YouTube, with a massive 955,158 tuning in around the world.

Joe told fans, 'Woooo we got a new @guinnessworldrecords for #pewithjoe 😝🌏🏆🎉 I still can’t believe how many people are tuning in each day from around the world. Today we had families in Fiji, Russia, Madagascar, India, Oman, Zimbabwe, Peru, Finland, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. How amazing is that? Thank you to @youtube for letting me reach so far and wide and thanks to everyone taking part. This is OUR world record 🌏❤️🙏🏼'. (sic)
