fittest
In peak condition
Fittest is the superlative of fit—the most suitable, most healthy, or most capable.
Darwin's phrase survival of the fittest describes how organisms best adapted to their environment are most likely to reproduce.
In fitness contexts, it means in the best physical condition: She was the fittest athlete on the team.
