Fluidity is everything a boxing gym should be. It's a no-frills environment with everything you need, but no extra fluff that you don’t. It's a house of humble warriors - as long as you show up with a good attitude and a willingness to put in some work, you are welcomed into the fold, man, woman, or child. Are you a beginner? You couldn't find a better place to start your boxing journey. Are you experienced? Fluidity has the caliber of coaching and workout partners to take your game to the next level.
If you are looking to train hard and compete in the ring, this is the place for you. If you (like me) are just looking to get in shape/stay in shape while learning some real boxing, this is the place for you too. Are you training or competing in MMA and want to sharpen the boxing aspect of your game? Fluidity is your ticket.
A note to any parents – I have been present while Paul was working with some of his kids’ classes. It is top-notch instruction and Paul handles the kids with a perfect balance - He is always positive and encouraging, but also expects them to work and doesn’t accept excuses.

Fluidity is a great gym and a fantastic community to be a part of. Like I said, it's everything a boxing gym...
Read moreThis is genuinely the BEST boxing gym in Columbia, SC. There are all sorts of Boxing trainees here, from the active Professional Boxers (including thr head Coach and owner Paul Carrooll), Amateur Boxers to those who just want to learn boxing for fitness purposes. I was the type who didnt want to pursue the competitice route but still want to learn the Art of Boxing and sparrings.
If you are the same type of trainee as i am, this gym is perfect for you. No matter how crowded the gym is Coach Paul will always personally teach you new techniques/ drills and ensure you know the fundamentals well enough to train on your own before he moves on to other trainees. You will NOT be put on a bag and punch it until you’re bored just because you’re not competing. You will learn real techniques here.
All the other coaches and everyone else here are extremely friendly, respectful and helpful. They are very happy to help if you ask. No tough-guy mentality or intimidation. Just a place where people who are passionate about Boxing come to train.
I wish Coach Paul and everyone at Fluidity Boxing Club the greatest successes in your...

Great community of people trying to...
