It’s because “great importance” is a noun and you’re using it as an adjective. The “of” converts it into a descriptive phrase.
Other ways you could say similar things:
I think physical fitness is greatly important.
I think physical fitness is very important.
I think physical fitness is important.
I think physical fitness is of importance.
