Joe still coaches at Scarborough Gymnastics Academy and runs online fitness classes.
He said: “I feel like I’m still in a bubble.
“I filmed it a year ago and it came out, since then I’ve had incredible opportunities that maybe have inspired people and showed adversity does not define them.
“I wanted to share that if someone has a different start to life it doesn’t mean they can’t do something and to show gymnasts anything is possible.”
Joe is now an ambassador for the Kinship charity, which supports carers and guardians.
He said his success had “brought the gymnastics community together”, adding grandma Christine was his biggest fan.
Asked if he would like to become a Gladiator himself, Joe said: “I can’t pretend I have not thought about it.
“I would like to be called Gravity – so I can defy it.”
