Richard Simmons – Sweatin’ To The Oldies

Even if everyone had forgotten the American fitness personality Richard Simmons, a well-timed reminder came in 2020 when he released videos from his archive on YouTube to help people stay fit during the pandemic. He’s always been passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goals, which led him to open a training center in Beverly Hills.

He gained fame when his “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” aerobic videos granted him TV time. Because of his overly flamboyant style, he was often the subject of parodies and was frequently on late-night TV and radio shows like “The Howard Stern Show.” Before resurfacing in 2020, he had retreated from public life since 2014.
