To sign "fit," start with your dominant hand open in front of your shoulder, with your fingers slightly spread and your palm facing toward you. Pull your hand inward toward your body, closing your fingers into a fist (an "S" handshape) as it reaches your upper chest or shoulder area. This movement conveys a sense of strength and physical wellness.
To express your fitness goals, sign 'want', followed by 'become', and then use this sign for 'fit'. Make sure to use a determined facial expression to show your motivation for getting healthy.
First, point to the person you are talking about. Then, sign 'very' and perform the 'fit' sign with a strong, crisp motion. Add an affirmative nod to emphasize just how healthy and strong they are.

No, this specific sign is used to describe physical fitness, health, and strength. If you want to say that a shirt or a pair of shoes fits you well, you would use a completely different ASL sign that involves bringing two "F" handshapes together.
Yes, absolutely! While the video demonstrates a one-handed version, it is incredibly common to see this sign performed with both hands simultaneously pulling inward to the shoulders. Both the one-handed and two-handed variations mean the same thing and are widely understood.
Your hand should finish in an "S" handshape. This is essentially a standard fist where your fingers are curled in and your thumb is wrapped across the front of them. Keeping the fist tight helps convey the concept of physical strength.
