Using a directory script like dew-newphplinks for a fitness site's links page can work, but only if the categories and submissions stay tightly focused on fitness-related topics. Search engines use on-page content and outbound links to form a topical picture of a site; a links page with many unrelated categories weakens that signal and can attract low-quality entries. is right to stress staying on topic.

Practical steps to reduce risk and add value: restrict available categories to fitness, nutrition, training, gear, etc., and close or hide anything off-topic; require registration and moderate submissions before they go live; add a short, unique editorial description for each link so the page is useful to humans instead of being a thin list; mark user-submitted or paid links with rel="ugc"/rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored" as appropriate; consider noindex on purely user-list pages that offer little original content; and if you must host varied topics, put them on a separate subdomain or separate site to avoid diluting the main site's theme. Vary anchor text and keep outbound links per page reasonable.

Ignore the promotional directory post from — trading with low-quality directories usually hurts more than it helps. Monitor changes with Google Search Console and analytics after making edits, and treat the links page as editorial content: curated, moderated, and useful to visitors.

Off topic will not help you to get good search results, don't deviate your site subjects to different area, moreover consider adding keyword rich content.
