If you actually like this woman and she actually cares for you back and treats you well, don't throw it away.  Finding a long lasting mutually supportive relationship is not an easy challenge and hot body doesn't mean happiness long term if her attitude sucks.  Use this advice above, and put effort into a relationship that is worth working for.  If you work out, try to involve her as something you guys can do together.  Part of your daily routine...part of your relationship.  Road bike together, go for walks...not just the typical gym stuff blasted right into her face from the beginning...work it in.  Be involved with the cooking if she enjoys that, and find recipes together that are delicious and healthy...there are a ton of them out there these days.

Then, if you have honestly tried these options for a worthy amount of time and she is unwilling to put any effort forth, then you have a leg to stand on.  If she won't make any effort to become an active part of your lifestyle, then I would say you could reasonably tell her that the relationship isn't working for you and you'd be right to do so.

In the meantime, heed the wisdom found in the classic Spinal Tap song.  "The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'...the thicker the waistband, the deeper the quicksand".

Were you meaning to quote the OP and not me?

Because I'm in no need of advice on this.
