BACH: 'Celebrity Fit Club' Is 100% Great For My Rock 'N' Roll Career, My Life And Health

February 23, 2010

As America embarks on a New Year full of resolutions to lose weight and make tough life changes, VH1 celebrates the new decade with a fresh season of "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp". This season boasts a cast full of pop culture personalities ready to bare their bodies and souls as they dig in for the most grueling fitness program on television — designed to help them drop not only their flab, but also their emotional baggage. At the end of eight weeks, they will be lean, mean, "Fit Club" machines ready to face the world and show off their new hard bodies.

Battling the bulge this season are Sebastian Bach (former lead singer of SKID ROW),legendary R&B bad boy Bobby Brown, Jay McCarroll (winner of "Project Runway", Season 1),KayCee Stroh ("High School Musical"),dancer and choreographer Kevin Federline, former "Baywatch" babe Nicole Eggert, actress Shar Jackson ("Moesha"),and infamous "Bad Girl" Tanisha Thomas ("Bad Girls Club", Season 2). The cast will be broken into two teams, competing for $200,000 in cash and prizes and the individual celeb who drops the most weight will win $50,000 in prizes.

Driving the cast through the punishing and life-changing eight-week boot camp is "Celebrity Fit Club" veteran and U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor Harvey Walden IV (RET). Using Harvey's unique brand of "tough love," he will guide the celebs over walls, through the mud and past their own limitations as they realize their true potential for the first time. Also leading the cast through their journey is nutrition and diet expert, Dr. Ian Smith, who will change the way the celebs look at food and their eating habits. New to this season is life coach Rhonda Britten. Rhonda will spend one on one time with the celebs and help mentor them through the journey of shedding excess weight.

Eight weeks of mud, sweat and tears promise to deliver the most exciting and emotional season of "Celebrity Fit Club" yet. The challenges will be brutal, but in the end, the results will be amazing.

"Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" is executive-produced by Jonas Larsen for ITV Studios. Jeff Olde, Jim Ackerman, Christian McLaughlin and Mike Riley are executive producers for VH1.

The third episode of "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" premiered last night (Monday, February 22) on VH1 and can be viewed in its entirety below.

Commented Bach: "I know the idea of the show might be cheesy to some, as it was to me initially.

"I know the show has nothing to do with music, but... dare I say it.. I really dig this episode #3!

"The end result of me doing this show is 100 percent great for my rock 'n' roll career, and my life and health undoubtably [sic].

"This episode [that premiered last night] is my favorite episode yet, and previews for next week's show look to be even wilder and crazier than [last night's]! You never know how these shows are gonna be edited and I gotta say so far I am digging 'Celebrity Fit Club' Season 7 a lot! I think it's a positive show that may hopefully be inspiring to those who need it and I definitely learned a lot from Dr. Ian, Harvey, Rhonda and the cast and crew during the two-month taping of the show."
