Richard Simmons – 73

Richard Simmons dedicated his life to promoting a better life through exercise. Simmons became obese at a very young age, peaking at 268 pounds. Simmons did try losing weight and working out, but he noticed gyms prefer already slim customers, and he realized the need for a studio that would accommodate people with weight problems. He opened his studio named Anatomy Asylum, where he encouraged people to eat healthy instead of doing extreme diets and to workout in supportive environments. Simmons became famous and appeared on television quite often, but has withdrawn from the public since 2014 while his studio was closed in 2016.
