The Richard Simmons mystery: A timeline

Richard Simmons' long-time success as an iconic '80s fitness guru still keeps him in the faint limelight but Simmons has been absent from the public eye since 2014. He's had a much quieter existence lately from the boisterous persona he presented in the aerobics videos he pioneered more than 40 years ago.

However, this obvious absence from the spotlight has created intrigue around the mystery of his whereabouts. For the most part, Simmons has remained private except for his sporadic posts on social media, and stopped teaching his excerise classes, to the point that people have speculated that the fitness personality had disappeared entirely.
