RICHARD SIMMONS – BORN IN 1948

If there’s one thing that will quickly remind you of Richard Simmons, it’s his flamboyant outfits and eccentric personality. No one can surpass the now-72-year-old star’s energetic nature—even the youngsters of today. Well, in his field of work, it’s not surprising at all.

Simmons is a semi-retired fitness instructor known for promoting weight-loss programs. He’s the one behind the hit aerobics video Sweatin’ to the Oldies. With the right investment money in hand, he even managed to build a gym of his own, called Slimmons. Based on his name, how witty could that be? His continuous appearance on TV back then made him more famous, along with the popularity of his consumer products. However, in 2014, Simmons decided to take a break, though he started to upload archival content, recorded when he was still in the business, to his YouTube Channel to help people stay fit. This way, he has managed to remain relevant.
