SPITGAN : 你可以向我們介紹一下自已嗎？
LULU ZHU : 你好！我是朱湉默(Lulu)，今年29歲。我是個中國人，住在上海。
SG : 你的工作是什麼？
LZ : 我是一個在健身行業中的自由工作者吧！我是個健美運動員，也是個專業的健身教練。我亦有為其他健身教練授課及舉辦一些相關的研討會。當然做健美模特兒也是其中一部份吧！有時我會以健美行業中的「KOL」身份出席一些活動。我也有從澳洲引入不同的健美比賽然後轉售中國。總言之，我希望盡量用最少的功夫，做到最多能賺錢的事吧。

SPITGAN : Name / Age / Current City / Nationality?
TIANMO ZHU : My name is Tianmo (Lulu) Zhu. I am 29, living in Shanghai, and of Chinese nationality.
SG : What do you do?
TZ : I am currently freelancing in the fitness industry. I compete as a fitness bikini athlete. I’m a certified personal trainer with 2 clients. I also give classes to other trainers, and organize fitness related seminars. Being a fitness model is also a part of it. Sometimes I attend events as a ‘fitness KOL’. I’m also running a bikini business, where I import competition bikinis from Australia and sell to China. In a word, I do whatever that makes money, and trying to make it with minimum effort.
SG : How did you discover competitive body building?
TZ : Many of my friends were competing already before I started it, so body building to me is nothing new. But I never liked the concept of ‘being judged’. I still don’t like it, but now I’m learning to deal with it.
SG : When did you start training yourself? What interested you about it?
TZ : When I started to go to the gym it was about 4 years ago. I was simply looking for somewhere to cope with the stress and empty feeling from my office life, in a healthy way. I benefited a lot from that decision. Training for competitions started last year, 3 months before my first completion. It was not until then I discovered that working out for fun and training for competitions are 2 totally different things.
