Attention.

In my experience, rewarding with attention, compliments, or positive affirmations reinforces good behaviour.

For instance, if you like it when she works out. You might give her some more attention after her workout, call her sexy, tell her how you're proud of her that she's eating healthy. Don't go overboard, but noticing that she's making an effort is the key here.

You can't change anyone. It has to come from within. Once they start showing effort you can offer some advice if you believe you'll help them and pepper them with positive reinforcement ("whoa you look better, I can tell you've been eating well!"), but that's about all you can realistically do.

If you value health and fitness and your girlfriend does not then you shouldn't be together. Your relationship will naturally go south as you get healthier and look better and she gets fatter/hits the wall so you might as well just rip off the band aid and call it.

Tell her you think she looks hot in her work out clothes and give her attention when she gets back from the gym.

I bought a home setup. Put it right next to the couch. She had to step over it to sit down. Eventually it worked via osmosis. Before that nothing worked. I blew a ton on a membership she never used.

Stop trying to turn people into who they're not. Don't get a dog and expect it to act like a bird.
