Shohreh has helped me reignite my passion for fitness and regain my confidence in myself, which means so much to me. She's a knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient coach and I honestly couldn't have hoped for anything more. I was looking for someone to support and guide me in my journey to live a healthy lifestyle, and I'm so glad I found her!

Shohreh was incredible to work with as a nutrition coach and I could tell from the very beginning that she wasn’t your typical coach. She really got to know me, my lifestyle, and my personal struggles with food. Instead of creating a shopping list, or list of “good foods /bad foods,” we worked on mindset training and creating healthy behaviors and habits. I am feeling more and more free from obsessive and demeaning emotional food thoughts. I’ve also never eaten this healthy in such a consistent manner, and my body is responding!

Shohreh completely changed my view of coaches and my overall mentality on exercise, nutrition, and what living a healthy life looks like. As a chronically overweight person, I'd become afraid of trainers, nutritionists, and even doctors because they'd always tell me the same things (with a definite element of shame, of course), blame any health issues on my weight, or try to force their specific opinions on me without explanation or allowing me any input. Shohreh never did any of those things. She didn’t tell me that I HAD to do anything or give me recommendations without explanation. She didn’t shame me for my weight or even suggest that there's anything wrong with me. Shohreh empowered me in a way that no health professional ever has. She’s understanding, empathetic, and honest on top of being extremely knowledgeable in her field.

Shohreh worked with me to design a fitness program that worked with my busy and sometimes unpredictable work schedule, and she performed an initial personalized fitness assessment and continued to re-assess my fitness abilities and goals so that we could make the most out of our time together. She also made herself available outside of our sessions to answer any questions I had about strength training, cardio, nutrition, or any other wellness-related matters. Her expansive knowledge of all things fitness and nutrition and her passion for coaching came through at all times.

When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I threw my regular exercise routine out the window and indulged in whatever I was craving (in large quantities). After my son was born via cesarean, I was unsure how to eat well, get back into a workout routine that would be safe yet effective, and prioritize my health in a schedule that was already overloaded by work and my new responsibilities at home. Lucky for me, there's Glitter & Grit and the powerhouse wellness coach behind the business - Shohreh Davoodi. She taught me that good nutrition is manageable, and she developed a coaching program tailored to my jam-packed lifestyle. It wasn't long before my core healed from the surgery and I was able to regain some "me time" every day, which makes me much better at home and at work.

I decided to hire Shohreh as my coach because I felt as if my life revolved around sitting—at work, at home, on the weekends. Just kind of being stuck. I wanted to increase my movement and also build up my strength so I could handle the big, strong dogs at the shelter I volunteer at. There was also the fact that even though I had taken baby steps to start eating better, I needed someone to help me go the extra mile. Shohreh challenges me without being mean, instructs me without being condescending, and genuinely encourages me while also making me laugh.

I have been looking for years for a health and wellness routine that meets my needs, holds me accountable, and, most importantly, that I enjoy. Shohreh has helped me make important changes to my lifestyle that I have actually maintained! I'm focused on being kind to myself, thinking about the food I'm nourishing my body with, and consistently making time for the gym all thanks to Shohreh's encouragement and expertise. Shohreh is extremely responsive and available to me when I need her. My confidence is the highest it has been in a long time, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with Shohreh.

I can hardly believe I was just an online client of Shohreh’s because although I never met her in person, it felt like I always had a friend rooting me on and listening carefully to every trial and triumph I went through. She has an incredible attention to detail and I know this aided immensely in developing a fitness program that fit all of my goals and needs. I noticed I grew just as much mentally as I did physically (if not more...and that’s really saying something since she helped me work hard to look better and feel healthier than I have in years!). Shohreh helped me build a stronger mind and attitude towards fitness and nutrition, which has directed me down a lifelong journey of loving myself better and thriving in my health through all of life’s ups and downs! I know these results are truly lasting thanks to her coaching.

Before I worked with Shohreh I had never had a regular exercise routine. She taught me how to strength train correctly while still having fun in the gym. We worked on my self-confidence and intuitive eating. I even figured out some food sensitivities! Shohreh helped me learn to trust my body and to love the one I'm in!

It has been such a gift to work with Shohreh. As a fat person with a history of eating issues and body dysmorphia, I sometimes feel like I’ve tried everything to “get healthy” while ignoring my emotions and how my body actually felt. Shohreh helped me break down my previous assumptions of what it means to be “healthy” and organize my complicated feelings around food and fitness. Now, I know that moving my body can be fun and food is no longer a constant source of guilt for me. My body is no longer an enemy to be punished but a friend, and I can’t thank her enough!

Shohreh has been my trainer for a year now and has been such an inspiration to me both in my fitness routine and my outlook on physical health as a woman. She is very much about positive body image, anti diet culture and pro self-love. She meets me where I am with each new set of programming and helps to encourage me while also challenging me when I try to push myself too hard at times. She sincerely cares about each client’s well-being more than anything else. I’d highly recommend Shohreh to anyone looking for a lifestyle change and a mentor to guide you toward a healthier and more positive body image while helping you get strong!

Strength training with Shohreh has been very transformative in a very short amount of time. I really liked how we didn't jump in ahead of ourselves. She kept my workouts at a slow, steady increase, and in no time I was lifting more than I ever have before, feeling great about my body, and seeing results in day-to-day life. With Shohreh it isn’t about how hard you can push yourself until you’re miserable but about staying consistent and improving at a pace you enjoy - which actually kept me wanting to go back to the gym instead of giving up like I normally do. I would highly recommend Shohreh to anyone who wants more body positivity, confidence, and strength in their life.
