Richard Simmons was a big personality in the US for fitness programs in the 1980s and 1990s with a couple of television programs. He has run an aerobics gym in Hollywood for about...30 years now.
Before he got into fitness, he actually was a pretty big guy, so the fact that he's kept off over 100lbs for over 40 years shows he gets results. You gotta give Simmons some credit, even if his exuberance and style were always really odd.
As for the video, it's pretty much everything you need to know about Obamacare in a 3-minute video clip. Nobody read the script, the young support it without having a clue what they're doing, and the whole think reeks of failure and poor planning. Also, #socialmedia.
