Dick Van Dyke, 99, Inspires with Fitness Routine and 'Mary Poppins' Sequel

Fans of the magical nanny can now enjoy both 'Mary Poppins' and its sequel 'Mary Poppins Returns' on Disney+. Meanwhile, legendary entertainer Dick Van Dyke, at 99, continues to inspire with his fitness routine and acting prowess.

Van Dyke, who has been in the entertainment industry for 75 years, recently returned to the role of Mr. Dawes Jr. in 'Mary Poppins Returns' at the age of 93, demonstrating his enduring energy and enthusiasm for acting. His impressive career spans Broadway, TV, and classic movie musicals.

In late September 2025, the nonagenarian was spotted training in a 'Planet Fitness' in Malibu with 76-year-old musician Rick Springfield. Springfield, who has been an admirer of Van Dyke's work, praised the actor's fitness routine and shared photos of their gym encounters on social media. Van Dyke, it seems, stays in shape by working out three times a week at 'Anytime Fitness', proving that age is no barrier to staying active and healthy.

Van Dyke's gym encounter with Springfield was an inspirational moment for many, showing that one can maintain a 'spring in their step' at any age, much like his character Bert in 'Mary Poppins'. With both 'Mary Poppins' films now available to stream on Disney+, fans can enjoy Van Dyke's timeless performances and be inspired by his remarkable fitness journey at 'Anytime Fitness'.
