Bodies will get buffed as VH1 brings back an all new season of
Celebrity Fit Club, coming this month with new challenges, twists, and of course, new cast members.

The sixth season of
Celebrity Fit Club will be comprised of both alumni of past seasons and newcomers. The veterans who will be back for another chance to complete their weight-loss mission include Tina Yothers (
Family Ties),
Toccara Jones (
America's Next Top Model), Willie Aames (
Charles in Charge), and
Dustin Diamond (
Saved by the Bell).
Previously, season 2's Jones lost 32 pounds, Aames lost 19 pounds and fifth season's Diamond lost 30 pounds. Yothers, on the other hand, appeared on the fourth season of the show and lost a combined total of 42 pounds, which was over 21 percent of her body weight. She holds the record, to date, for second highest weight loss, and second highest body weight percentage loss in the history of the show.
Joining the veterans are new recruits such as Erin Moran, Sommore, Brian Dunkleman, and A.J. Benza. Moran is best known for her role as Joanie Cunningham on
Happy Days and its spinoff
Joanie Loves Chachi. Her other TV credits include
Love Boat, Murder She Wrote, and
Diagnosis Murder.
Coming from the comedy circuit are Sommore and Dunkleman. Sommore is known for her work on
Soul Plane, A Miami Tail and
Queens of Comedy, while Dunkleman is best known for co-hosting the first season of
American Idol with
Ryan Seacrest. Last but not the least is Benza, a gossip columnist and television host.
Catch these celebrities as they report for duty and follow Sgt. Harvey Walden's rules when
Celebrity Fit Club premieres this month.
