Richard Simmons -- the legendary fitness guru -- has died at 76 ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police and fire responded to a call from his housekeeper just before 10 AM Saturday and pronounced him dead at the scene. We're told no foul play is suspected at this time, and cops are looking into it as a natural death.

Shockingly, RS posted multiple times on Facebook recently ... including thanking fans for all the birthday wishes he received.

Simmons was born in New Orleans, Lousiana way back in 1948 ... later attending Florida State University where he got a Bachelor's degree in art before he moved to Los Angeles in the '70s.

Oh my gosh. That’s surprising. He seemed like a nice guy.

I loved the dude. He was always a hilarious sight to see. Rest in peace, bro.

God everyone just keeps dying. What is going on.

A guy who fully embraced camp as part of his routine and had a lot of spark, he was a performer as well as a fitness expert. RIP and thanks for being a big part of pop culture.

Remember the Johnny Bravo episode where Richard Simmons was revealed to be Johnny’s childhood bully? :lol:
