'get in shape' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sole new women's rowing crew' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'rowing crew' becomes 'eight' (crew of eight rowers).
'sole' anagrammed gives 'lose'.
'lose'+'w'+'eight'='LOSE WEIGHT'

'as' is the link.
