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

In the post, the account managers explain how RS would go over posts multiple times … holding off on posting until he’d written them exactly how he wanted.
The staff says on weekends he would post a photo, but he would write a caption for it by Friday night … so, he’d completed the one for last weekend before he passed.
This last one Richard prepared showed him with a head full of gray hair in a bright orange astronaut suit … which they say he planned to caption, “Let me fly you to the moon so we can gaze among the stars. Love, Richard.”
We broke the story … Simmons was found unresponsive by his housekeeper last Saturday, a 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 his death after feeling dizzy earlier on — refusing to go to a doctor so as not to spoil his birthday.
Fans have paid tribute to the health motivator over the last week … and, we imagine this new pic his team shared will be treasured forever.
