Selected answer:Very fit as a result of vigorous exercise
Explanation:
I agree with Cathy's answer, but I feel it doesn't fully explain the phrase. There's a kind of wordplay here, because "fiercely" means "very", as she implies, but this level of fitness is achieved by fierce, ie strenuous, exercise.
I don't know what "3°" means, but that's presumably apparent from the wider context.

agree  Björn Vrooman: What about the alliteration? Else, I agree, ofc. As for 3, that stands for "third routine," I think (see also other the question).

  -> Yes, I would try to reproduce the alliteration. And it could mean "third", though English doesn't use the degree symbol in this way.
