Judd; hip-hop artist Da Brat; The Tonight Show's Ross "The Intern" Matthews; American Idol 2 finalist Kimberly Locke; and rapper Warren G.

Similar to past seasons of Celebrity Fit Club, Men vs. Women will see the cast divided into groups of four, however for the fifth installment they'll be divided by gender.  In each hour-long episode, the teams will be given different physical challenges and will work together to reach their own fitness goals.
