Because Around Here, “More” is What We Do Best and it’s always with You!

If you’ve ever laced up your sneakers for a Group Fitness class, danced under the stars at Lakefront Live, or caught your breath while your kids splash into the deep end at one of our 23 outdoor pools

You already know, Columbia Association isn’t just a place to work out or pass through. It’s where the community moves, connects, laughs, and grows.

And now, we want to see how you do it.

Welcome to the fun, fresh, feel-good energy of #DoMoreWithCA — our way of celebrating you, the people who bring Columbia to life every day. It’s not a challenge. It’s not a contest. It’s just a simple, awesome invitation:

• 📱 Grab your phone.
• 🎥 Capture your moment.
• 📲 Post it online with the hashtag #DoMoreWithCA.

That’s it! Because the way you experience CA is exactly what makes it great.

There’s no single way to “do more” — and that’s kind of the point.

Maybe your version of “more” looks like:

• Taking your first Cycling class — in SSC new cycle studio.
• Morning laps in one of our indoor pools while the world’s still quiet.
• Teaching your teenager how to lift weights at Columbia Gym or Supreme Sports Club.
• Reconnecting with a friend while strolling a CA walking trail.
• Dancing so hard at Lakefront Live you forget the moves and just let loose.

The beauty of CA is that it’s for everyone. From anyone discovering the water with Swim Lessons at Columbia Swim Center, to seniors embracing a new flow in Build Your Bones, our community is built for all ages, all backgrounds, and all energy levels.

You don’t have to be a fitness fanatic. You don’t need to hit a personal best every time. You just need to show up and make a moment — for yourself, your family, or your community.

In the simplest terms? It’s a shout out to the everyday awesomeness happening all across Columbia Association — and it’s powered by you.

We want to see the joy, the fun, the progress, the oops-I-tried moments — all of it.

Your short videos (15–60 seconds) or photos can capture:

• Group fitness fun — like Cycle, Zumba, or Basic Training
• Peaceful walks on CA’s scenic pathways
• Pickleball wins (or hilarious mis-hits!) on our indoor and outdoor courts
• Creative breakthroughs in a ceramics or art class
• Pool time with the little ones at any of our Outdoor Pools
  
• Smiles after sweat at Columbia Gym or Athletic Club
• Quiet solo moments of reflection or movement in our yoga classes

🎯 The goal? To flood social feeds with all the awesome happening right here in Columbia — and help others discover what’s possible when you #DoMoreWithCA.

Short answer: Everyone.

Long answer: Literally everyone.

You don’t have to be a member (though we’d love to welcome you!). You don’t have to be a pro. If you’ve ever stepped into a CA facility, tried a drop-in class, or joined a CA event, you’re already in.

This includes:

• CA Members & Guests
• Team Members & Trainers
• Event Visitors (like anyone enjoying Lakefront Live)
• Kids, Teens, Families, and Grandparents

Basically, if you’re having fun, feeling good, and exploring what Columbia Association has to offer — your story belongs here

1. Take a quick video or photo of you doing something fun, healthy, or joyful with CA.
2. Upload it to Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.
3. Use the hashtag #DoMoreWithCA in your caption or first comment.

💡Pro Tip: Vertical videos work best (think Instagram Reels or TikToks). Natural lighting, big smiles, and unfiltered fun always win.

Because your story might be exactly what someone else needs to see.

When you post using #DoMoreWithCA, you help show that wellness, connection, and fun are alive and thriving — right here in Columbia. Not just for athletes. Not just for grown-ups. Not just for members. But for everyone.

You might even be featured on:

• Columbia Association’s official website
• Digital signage in CA fitness clubs, pools, or the Columbia Art Center
• Member spotlight stories on our website
• Future CA highlight reels or promotional videos

📣 It’s not about going viral — it’s about going real.

Sure, we’ve got treadmills and weights and some truly beautiful indoor and outdoor pools. But CA is so much more.

It’s where:

• Kids discover their first love for fitness in youth sports and swim lessons
• Friends reunite for a hike or walk or a friendly game of pickleball
• Artists pick up brushes, cameras, or clay
• Mature Adults can stay strong through Aqua Fitness or any of these classes.
• Families make memories together in KidSpace or at a birthday party

Columbia Association is your one-stop shop for everything health, happiness, and community

1. A pre-workout pep talk from your car.
2. A post-workout celebration after Basic Training!
3. Enjoying a moment of peace at the Golf Course.
4. Time-lapse of you and friends in any of our open spaces.
5. A beautiful sunset from your lawn chair at Lakefront Live.
6. A “before and after” of your gym mood.
7. An “Aha” moment in a Pilates class.

Be real. Be joyful. Be proud.

Columbia was founded on the belief that community matters — that people thrive when they live intentionally, connect deeply, and grow together.

That belief is alive and well.

And with a little help from our phones and hashtags, we can share that spirit far beyond our neighborhoods. When you post with #DoMoreWithCA, you’re helping tell the story of a connected, creative, active Columbia — one real moment at a time.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.

🧡 “This is what wellness looks like for me.”

🧡 “This is what fun in Columbia looks like.”

🧡 “This is what I do with CA.”

So… ready?

Are you ready to inspire someone to try something new? To show the world what joy, movement, creativity, and connection look like here in our community?

Then let’s go!
