fitter

In better shape

Fitter is the comparative form of fit—more suitable, healthier, or in better shape: She's fitter now than she was at twenty.

A fitter is also a person who installs or adjusts equipment, especially in manufacturing or construction: a pipe fitter, a gas fitter.

The job involves cutting, shaping, and assembling components to precise specifications.
