In good form

Could you tell me whether or not the idiom for in good form in the meaning of healthy and cheerful is used in conversations?

"in good form" can be said when a person puts on some kind of impressive performance, or is particularly ebullient. Sometimes it is used with a tinge of irony. I wouldn't say that "healthy and cheerful" exactly captures the meaning.
