Fitness has no effect on a Sim other than on his or her [[Body shape#The Sims 2|body shape]]. A Sim's body shape is not directly controlled by his or her fitness level, but by flags in his or her character file. These flags normally update when the fitness scale moves into a new range, but they may not do so immediately, Also, it is not unusual for pre-made Sims and townies to have fitness levels that do not match their body shape flags.

A Sim's fitness will decrease if they continues to eat after their [[hunger]] need is full. A notable exception to this is drinking [[juice]],{{vgversion|TS2:S}} which does not affect a Sim's fitness. Also, if ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, Sims who have [[pleasure]] or [[Grilled Cheese (aspiration)|grilled cheese]] as a primary or secondary aspiration have [[aspiration benefit]]s which affect how quickly they gain or lose fitness. The pleasure benefit "Fast Metabolism" allows a Sim to build fitness 50% faster, while the grilled cheese benefit "Bottomless Stomach" causes a Sim to lose fitness 50% slower.

Sims can increase their fitness in various ways, but not all are equally effective. Most activities that increase body skill will build fitness, but not all do. Sims '''can''' increase fitness on [[community lot]]s, even if they are not gaining body skill. However, their body shape will not change until they go home, unless they are on a college community lot{{vgversion|TS2:U}} or a secret hobby lot.{{vgversion|TS2:FT}} Children can perform some activities, such as swimming, which build fitness, but if a child reaches the fit level, their body shape may not change until they become a teen. (Some [[clothes|outfits]] for children have a working fat morph, but not all do.) Sims do not have to perform fitness-increasing activities to maintain fitness, as long as they do not overeat.
