Recreation
Columbus State Community College offers a wide variety of courses at convenient times throughout the year to aid in the development of our community.  Keeping with that theme the Sports and Fitness Management Technology program and the Department of Athletics and Recreation at Columbus State will open its doors and allow the general public an opportunity to take advantage of its facilities.  Individuals in our community will be able to take advantage of our Fitness Center through Personal Training provided by the Sports and Fitness Management Technology Department.  Open Gym hours and Aerobics classes will be available to the Columbus State campus community only, that includes faculty, staff and students.  We encourage the use of our facilities and lectures to help promote healthier life-styles.
