“Richard Simmons Kicked My Butt!” — Promo Tee (1980s–1990s)
Straight out of the original Slimmons era, this slogan says it all. Equal parts exhausted and euphoric, “Richard Simmons Kicked My Butt!” was the badge of honor you earned after one of Richard Simmons’ high-energy classes—sweaty, relentless, and somehow still full of joy.
Slimmons wasn’t your typical gym. It was welcoming, loud, emotional, and built around Simmons’ larger-than-life encouragement—where fitness met performance and everyone was part of it. These tees became instant souvenirs of the experience: playful, a little over-the-top, and completely sincere.
