Richard Simmons, 74 Years Old
After losing a significant amount of weight in the ’70s, Milton Teagle “Richard” Simmons decided to make money from helping people get back in shape. The ever-flamboyant trainer opened his studio, which was a big hit because of how it welcomed all sizes and encouraged healthy ways to attain fitness.
Simmons quickly became popular in the local scene, and soon, he frequented TV shows. He is best known for his videos called “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.” While many people thought he died following his retreat from the limelight, he is actually alive and tries to lead a quiet life these days.
