Richard Simmons Found Dead After Birthday

Just a day after celebrating his birthday on July 12th, Simmons was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Saturday. The cause of death is unknown, though foul play is not suspected.

A Life Dedicated to Fitness

Simmons’ career exploded in the 1980s with his signature high-energy exercise videos like “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” and “Dance Your Pants Off.” These wildly popular routines, along with his motivational coaching style, helped him sell over 20 million workout videos. His influence extended beyond fitness with appearances on shows like “General Hospital” and his own Emmy-winning talk show, “The Richard Simmons Show.”

Born in New Orleans in 1948, Simmons battled his own weight issues before moving to Los Angeles and transforming his health. This personal experience fueled his passion for helping others achieve a healthy lifestyle. In addition to his video empire, Simmons authored several books, including the bestseller “Never Say Diet,” and opened his famed fitness studio, Slimmons, in Beverly Hills.

A More Private Life

Simmons retreated from the public eye in 2014, sparking concern and speculation about his well-being. In a 2016 interview, he assured fans he was happy and simply choosing a more private life.

Despite his later seclusion, Richard Simmons’ legacy as a motivator and champion of health and fitness will undoubtedly continue to inspire generations to come.

While the later years of his life were marked by privacy, Richard Simmons’ legacy as a fitness icon and a champion of positive living will undoubtedly continue to inspire generations to come.
