Richard Simmons‘ the team is keeping his legacy alive… by sharing a post the late star approved before he passed away — including what appears to be a recent photo of the fitness guru.
The people behind Simmons’ X account shared a post they say Richard worked tirelessly on that was supposed to be published last Sunday — the day after his death.
Here is the post Richard has planned for you for Sunday, July 14, 2024. 3/3
“Let me take you to the moon so we can gaze at the stars.
Love,
Ricardo” photo.twitter.com/aatT3LkrsT—Richard Simmons (@TheWeightSaint) July 20, 2024

In the post, the account managers explain how RS would revise posts multiple times… delaying publishing until he had written them exactly how he wanted.
The team said that on the weekends he would post a photo, but would not write a caption for it until Friday night… so he had already completed the one from the last weekend before he passed away.
This latest one Richard put together showed him with a full head of gray hair in a bright orange astronaut suit… which they say he planned to caption: “Let me take you to the moon so we can gaze at the stars. Love, Richard.”
We broke the story… Simmons was found unanswered by his housekeeper last Saturday, the day after his 76th birthday. First responders arrived and pronounced him dead at the scene.
As we told you… Richard fell in the bathroom the night before he died, after feeling dizzy earlier — refusing to go to the doctor so as not to ruin his birthday.
Fans have been paying tribute to the health motivator over the past week… and we imagine this new photo his team shared will be treasured forever.
