There are so many different ways that an individual can be considered "in shape" and "physically fit". Someone who lifts religiously is definitely in shape but may not be able to kill the 2 mile run. The same is true for someone who runs marathons, their push-ups may not be at max. And then there are those who never work out and still score nearly a 300. How would you change the APFT to better assess all different fitness levels? Is there any way to determine what "physically fit" means?

No. Not in the least.
Physically Fit= increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Or in laymens terms being able to work harder for longer across a broad spectrum of exercises.
