Move Manchester: Work out with Joe Wicks at his big fitness event at Aviva Studios

In a first for Manchester and its brand new multi-use venue Aviva Studio, fitness guru Joe Wicks will be hosting a three-day fitness experience for all ages – including work-outs, live music, sound baths, wellness workshops, ice baths and more. 

Move Manchester will be taking place from Friday 26 January to Sunday 28 January. It has been created by Joe Wicks with support from sportswear brand lululemon. 

As well as work-outs, fitness classes and workshops, there will also be meet and greet opportunities and talks with Joe Wicks and the other guests. Tickets for single sessions and whole day passes are available, but there will also be a community hub area where you can find out about the free events also taking place. 

Joe Wicks said: “I am absolutely buzzing to be launching this brand new event at this incredible venue. Bringing people together to experience movement and fitness is my favourite thing in the world.

“My goal is to show people that fitness can be fun and to inspire everyone to keep moving in 2024 to boost their physical and mental health. This event is going to be really special and like nothing I’ve ever done before.”

What does it involve?

• PE with Joe – This is a 40-minute, high-energy work-out with Joe Wicks for all the family, followed by a Q&A.

• Calming Yoga with a live violin and cello – This is a flow and stretch yoga session set to live music from a violin and cello duo. It is suitable for all ages and abilities.

• Sound Bath with Jasmine Hemsley – This is the perfect chance to unwind with a rest and recovery session using crystal alchemy singing bowls.

• Feel-Good HIIT with Joe – This is another high-intensity work-out designed to make you feel stronger and fitter. 

• Joe’s HIIT Party and After Party – This session is accompanied by a live DJ playing banging tunes, followed by drinks and a chance to chat with Joe. 

Over at the community hub, there will be a range of free events and activities on offer, including the opportunity to try out an ice bath with experts Brass Monkey. Elsewhere, there will be a giant hopscotch obstacle course, self-care lounge and a collaborative motivation mural. Fans of lululemon clothing will also be able to visit their pop-up shop, where there will be a customisation station. 

Move Manchester is not just about fitness sessions either. Visitors can also check out the cooking and wellness sessions, a 90s roller disco experience and fitness raves.

Local primary schools will also be invited to join in with special activities including ‘Kids Fitness’ sessions with Joe and a ‘Kids Korner’ promoting health, wellness and creativity.
