The beloved health and fitness guru, 68, is speaking directly with fans for the very first time since mysteriously vanishing from the spotlight three years ago.

Simmons, who was hospitalized on Monday for "severe indigestion," took to his personal Facebook page on Wednesday to share a hopeful message with his fans.

"Hello to everyone who has shown concern for me and sent their good wishes. You will never know how much it means to me," the reclusive diet and exercise expert wrote next to a 2014 photo of himself....

I’ve never heard anything bad about him.

Richard Simmons is getting to the age where he probably
just wants his privacy & may not feel like being “on” all

large city. Simmons came in & immediately commented on
my son’s manner of dress. Son replied, “I LIKE the way I
dress.” (He has always dressed “normal”.)

I’ve got nothing against Simmons & wish him well.

If he came into a woman’s restroom, he would be welcomed with open arms.

Bruce Jenner...not so much.
