<p>It all depends on the context. I would suggest using 健康状况(很好/不太好) to express one's general health status (very good/not so good). If you are trying to tell someone to cut down on icecream, use wanglan8498's answer, or the word 体态 (visual status of the body) to encourage one to hit the gym. I think the word "shape" as used here can be roughly translated into 状态, but the connotation of being slightly casual is perhaps lost. </p>
