Great Shape Fit Club is a comprehensive fat loss group training program that includes all of the tools and support that you need to get the great shape that you want. Our fitness program for women that is run by women who know exactly what it takes to get in great shape.
Each Fit Club coach is a certified professional trainer who understands the science behind getting you in the best shape of your life. In addition to being a certified trainer, each coach has her own practical experience with weight loss and body transformation.
We understand first hand the emotional and motivational side of embarking upon a fat loss journey. We also understand the unique demands of a woman’s busy schedule and offer practical insight on time management strategies to boost your level of success on our program. This is NOT a program where you’ll be told what’s best for you by some buff guy or skinny lady who have never experienced what it’s like live in your skin. You will NOT spend hours doing boring isolation exercises to build big, bulky muscles. You will NOT be screamed at or belittled. You will NOT be expected to go on long runs or do exercises that aren’t appropriate for your fitness level.
Your coaches can relate to your weight loss struggle and will help you on your path to getting in the best shape of your life.

Elizabeth (Eli), Fitness Coach
Eli de Moraes comes to Great Shape Fit Club with 20+ years of dance, yoga and Pilates experience. As an international professional dancer she began her love of yoga and Pilates when utilizing both forms of wellness practices in her training regimen for her own dancing and performing. When she personally saw the results of a more efficient, stronger, and healthier body, she knew she needed to share that knowledge with others.
Her passion and uncanny talent lies in an inspiring and unique way of cueing and helping each individual client create simple shifts in awareness for more efficient ways of moving that best suits them. This, in turn, helps each to gain more from their workouts (with less effort!), move better though everyday life and avoid injury. She loves both her group and private clients who greatly range in age and ability. All the way from being on faculty at the university level at TCU and TWU, teaching yoga to 4 year olds, pre-natal yoga to expectant moms, and rehabilitating the aging population to training Iron Man athletes and fire fighters, her knowledge and professional approach are beyond compare.
Her dance and teaching education includes two Master Degrees and almost the completion of her PhD. from the University of Surrey (Guildford, England) and Texas Women’s University respectively, with an emphasis in dance/movement analysis and Pedagogy (theories in teaching). Her 500 hour Pilates teacher training comes from Pilates Master, Elizabeth Jones-Boswell (a direct 2nd generation descendent of Josef Pilates) with an emphasis in rehabilitation. Her 200+ hour yoga certification (currently working toward her 500 hour training) is in the Tantric Hatha tradition through yoga master, Shanon Buffington and renowned Yogarupa Rod Stryker, who is considered to be one of the pre-eminent yoga and meditation teachers in the United States today. To broaden her repertoire, she will soon be certified as a Billy Blanks, Jr. “Dance With Me” instructor and will be staring in various fitness videos on Pilates/yoga/dance and desk workouts for the online video fitness platform of Calamity Gym.
