If a person goes to the gym to do some exercises:

1) he works him out
2) he works out

And he goes to the gym to have 1) a boosted body...
2) a tonic body...
Are these two ways to define a body correct? What else? Any more?
 
Please use more meaningful thread titles, such as He works him out.

1) is wrong.

2) should be 'He works out.'

'He goes to the gym to tone up his body/to strengthen his muscles/to get fit.'

How do you define in English (American or British) the body of someone who goes to the gym to work out?
Athletic? Tonic? Boosted? Are these correct? Any more?

Athletic, toned, fit.
 
I heard it "I think: He boosted his body - or - He has a boosted body - I do not remember it actually - yesterday on a MTV programme where a girl was talking about an actor's body who must have done lots of exercises at the gym because he had to film a new movie and play the role of a young marine, full of tatooes and with a well toned body.
 
n.a.t.

A ripped body / to become ripped is also a good expression for someone with six-pack abs.
