Over two successful seasons, 15 previous Celebrity Fit Clubbers have
bitched, battled, bonded (and bitched some more) through 100 days of Fit Club
training. Along the way, they learned about fitness, diets and nutrition, all

Cosby Show"), Jeff Conaway ("Taxi," "Grease"), Countess Vaughn ("The

journeys and fighting together to reach their goals.
