Richard Simmons Slimmons Studio

“The year was 1974. My dream was to open up an exercise studio that was fun. I had  taken classes all over the city of Los Angeles.  Most of the classes were very serious. Everyone looked like they were pouting while they worked out. That is when I decided that I needed to open up a place where people smiled when they sweat and danced to the music. So in the summer of 1974 I opened my doors to Slimmons,” Richard Simmons advertises on his website. His eccentric and fun style translate into his classes for a lot of sweat and a little bit of laughter along the way.
