Client Testimonials

I heard about Labor of Love Personal Training at the same time that my primary care physician became concerned about my escalating blood sugar levels and said that I might need to begin taking daily insulin shots. This was the first time that I acknowledged the fact that I was diabetic (I was diagnosed two years prior and had been taking oral medications on a haphazard basis) and that I needed to control it and not let it control me.

Having Calvin as my personal trainer is a privilege and an honor! (He’s my husband, too!) He’s extremely good at what he does and so creative; I’ve never had the same workout twice in all the years I’ve worked with him. He pours into each of his clients unreservedly and is exceptionally attentive throughout the workout. This means everything to me because I’ve had so many health issues to contend with – six abdominal surgeries, two back surgeries, a neck surgery, daily migraines, Meneire’s Disease (an inner ear condition that affects balance), and hypothyroidism. I’m also an Acute Myeloid Leukemia survivor since Christmas Day 2003. Read more of Gezell's testimonial...

At 45 years of age, I had spent virtually my entire adult life letting exercise stay on the backburner when it came to my priorities. Slowly and gradually I had let my entire body musculature atrophy. This atrophy had taken a serious toll on my lower back as well as my posture, flexibility, and balance. My ability to accomplish anything that required any strength at all had evaporated. Call it a coincidence or a miracle that I found Calvin! Read more of Neil's Testimonial...

When I was in Jr. High, I could not do the rope climb and in weight-lifting class, I was one of the weakest ones. I could never do a pull-up. After high school, I worked at a Boy Scout summer camp. As part of that, we had to do the rope course. As a team, we had to go over the 12-foot wall. They got me to the top, but I did not have the abs to pull myself over and had to be helped to get my legs over the wall. Read more of Craig's testimonial...

I had just ended a long-term abusive marriage and was very depressed, drinking & eating too much to attempt at coping with the pain. I had gained a fair amount of weight due to poor coping, which added to my depression. The Holy Spirit arranged for me to meet Gezell Fleming and she told me about Labor Of Love Personal Training.

It has been 3 years since I began strength training and stretching with Calvin at Labor of Love.

What began as "something different to do" in my exercise life, has turned into the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. I was 70 years young when I began working out with Calvin and the changes in my body and strength are amazing.

Calvin Fleming is one of the most amazing men I have ever met. After working with Calvin the first night almost 2 years ago, I knew he was the "Real Deal"! His quest for my well-being, whether it’s physical, spiritual, or mental, was a journey that would never end for me or him. He has taught me that if your mind thinks it, your body can do it and that getting in better shape was more of a mental work out than a physical one. As we proceed together with this journey, I have gotten stronger and stronger and this change in me has had a positive effect on my family and friends--Wow. Read more of Dr. Barone's testimonial...

I have known Gezell Fleming for a number of years. We are both actresses and share the same agent. For about 35 years, my back has been a source of discomfort (walking, sitting, standing....bad). I'd had hip replacement surgery in 1988 and since then, my back has not been right. The doctor said I couldn’t run just swim, so I "babied" my hip. So for all these years, I was like the hunchback of Notre dam. I was at an acting workshop in Wilmington and Gezell was there and that was when she introduced me to her husband Calvin. They both encouraged me to come and see them, as it was apparent that I was having difficulty walking (I mean, I couldn't walk a short distance). I said "sure, I'll get there", but that didn't happen right away.

I met Calvin and Gezell when they visited my office several months ago. My wife, Sharrin, and Gezell are fellow thespians.

Sharrin decided to visit Labor of Love within the week and came back with favorable reports. When she told me that Calvin was diabetic, it tweaked my interest because I'm diabetic as well. Read more of David's testimonial...

Calvin and Gezell and my friends know me as a very competitive tennis player. I average playing at least 4 to 5 times a week, going from indoor, clay, and hard surfaces so that in itself tends to take a toll on the body. Read more of Valerie's testimonial...

I noticed a member of our church (Sharrin) was walking more erect and had a pep in her step. So, I asked her how she got to be so vibrant. She gave me Calvin and Gezell's business card and began telling me how amazing Labor of Love had been for her and her husband. As we were talking, I knew Labor of Love was the answer to my recent prayers. I knew the next best step God wanted me to take was with Calvin and Gezell. Read more of Arlene's testimonial...

I cannot write a testimony that would give Calvin the justice he deserves. Calvin & Gezell seemed to know what I needed before I did. I walked through their door two years ago and have been on a personal journey - not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. Read more of Jen's testimonial...
