    I hope that Richard knows how loved he truly is. I remember how he made people feel better about themselves. The true OG fitness influencer. I hope he realizes how much his energy is needed now more than ever.

    You know...I saw the show where Howard Stern broke Richard's heart. Soon after, he became a recluse and didn't want to know nothing from no one. To say that Stern took things too far that day was an understatement. Bless your heart Richard... we're all in your corner.

      53 now and think it’s time to let him inspire me to take care of myself. That message is still out there for us. I think that would make him happy.

    Richard Simmons is such a quality person. A heart of gold that truly and genuinely cares about other people, wanting only the best for them in life. We love you, Richard. You’re a special person that the world needs more of. If you think about it, all those other fitness instructors at the time had hard body models for backup dancers…and Richard had regular folks on the set to workout and people could relate. Nobody else was doing that. Trailblazer for sure!

He helped so many people not only with his workout videos but his presence on tv shows. He had this personality that just grabbed your attention & got you up & moving.
