IS IT THE REAL RICHARD SIMMONS OR A LOOK ALIKE?
This guy sure looks like the former fitness guru at a 24 Hour Fitness in Orange County, CA, but Simmons' rep insists ... it's not him.
This video is being shopped to media outlets as the first sighting of Richard in years.
The gym is an hour from Richard's Hollywood Hills home, where he's been self-confined for 3 years. It would be super weird for Richard to venture out that far.
