Does Mormonism theology claim that God was once a man?

You seem to be stuck on this, the answer is "No", it was never taught as "Doctrine" however it is a logical construct based on our belief that we can become like him, and that this is natural. It has never been taught that I have been able to find as "Doctrine of the church" there has been much discussion about it. Those discussions of the "Logical conclusion" are not an endorsement, and such conversations are common among many Churches

Yes the Son of God, Jesus Christ was always one with the Heavenly Father, but now Jesus is in a physical form and when resurrected he was also in a form of man but now has a Celestial body(body parts) of Flesh and Bone which are eternal and the LDS believe just like Heavenly Father has an eternal Body.

Man is also to be one with God.

In John 5:19
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. ,br> 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Jesus talks about SEEING his father, that his father SHEWETH him all things and is how Jesus learn to do was because his Father SHOW HIM ALL THINGS TO DO!

Is there another way to gain a phyical body?

If there is another way to gain a phyical body, why didn't Heavenly Father show Jesus that way?

Apparently so...

"It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the character of God and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did." -- Joseph Smith, Jr., Journal of Discourses 6:3; Times and Seasons 5:614; History of the [Mormon] Church 6:305
