Richard Simmons is out here saving lives! While the fitness guru may have retreated back from center stage and a life in the spotlight, he’s still affecting people’s lives in MAJOR ways.

Majorly positive! The 75-year-old told TMZ on Sunday that he talks to HUNDREDS of fans per day via email and over the phone because he sees so many “unhappy people” and wants to bring them “hope.” He told the outlet that after getting an overwhelming response to his “Daily Richard” messages on social media, he noticed fans were in need of some brightness and positivity: In addition to the 200 emails in a given day, he also makes about 15 to 20 phone calls, according to the outlet.
