Are these two sentences worded properly?

While Caramon trained as a gladiator, Tasslehoff was allowed to freely wander the city and see the different sights. Tasslehoff was amazed to observe the change that happened to Caramon, who once again got himself in great physical shape.

got himself in great physical shape. This is a modern expression. To my mind, it does not fit well within a fantasy context.

Thanks for your advice and I know what you mean. How would you reword or rephrase "got himself in great physical shape"?

That would work, or what about "who once again developed a muscular build."?

How about, "once again developed a muscular physique" or "once again became physically fit"?
