He clarified in subsequent posts that he was not actually dying but rather trying to motivate people to make the most of every day.
“I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad,” Simmons wrote. “I am ….dying.”
I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying. Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death.
Why am I telling you this?

“Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying,” he added. “Every day we live we are getting closer to our death. Why am I telling you this?”
Simmons was a famous fitness instructor and TV personality in the 1980s and 90s but suddenly withdrew from public life in 2014, fueling rumors about his health.
It was later reported he had suffered a knee injury.
“Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today. Even the press has gotten in touch with me. I am not dying. It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have. Sorry for this confusion,” Simmons wrote.
“I am so touched by the outpouring of love and concern I have received today. I have had a tough time dealing with this injury, as it is keeping me from doing what I truly love to do and that is to teach classes around the world,” Simmons wrote. “Make sure you keep Sweatin’!”
In recent years, representatives said Simmons had stepped back to live a private life but remained active behind the scenes.
“Richard, after 40 years of being in the spotlight, is now simply taking a break from the public eye and working behind the scenes to continue to help those millions of people worldwide in need of his assistance and on several projects to be announced soon,” Simmon’s representative stated.
