The energy and excitement in The Holy Family NS Portlaoise was through the roof as Joe Wicks, The Body Coach, paid a visit to a the school on Wednesday.
Pupils were put through their paces by the hugely successful British fitness coach, TV presenter and author.
Wicks came to the Portlaoise school as part of his school fitness tour and demonstrated his short intense High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, much to the pupils excitement.
His first published cookbook ‘Lean in 15: 15-minute meals’ was a best-selling book in 2015, with over 900,000 copies sold.
Since then, he has written two more books, has gathered over 3 million followers on Instagram and has become a Channel 4 television presenter with his own show, The Body Coach.
Our photographer Julie-Anne Miller went along as the fitness guru happily posed for pictures with pupils and staff.
