为什么来到长沙?
Why come to Changsha?
“在来中国之前,我在美国拉斯维加斯担任抵押贷款经纪人,虽然我赚了很多钱,但工作并不令人满意,因为我的健康状况很差,我的生活没有任何意义。所以我来到了长沙,我认为我可以从一座仍在努力在现代世界中寻找自己身份的城市中学到一些东西,我来到长沙是为了平静,也是为了提高自我掌握能力。我从没想过 12 年后我还会在这里,拥有一家专注于抗衰老和健康寿命的健身房和餐厅。”
"I was a mortgage broker in Las Vegas, USA before I came to China. Although I made a fortune, I didn't feel satisfied and meaningful with poor health condition. I came to Changsha to search for something in this to-be modern city, for example peach and self-promotion. I never expected that I would live in this city for 12 years and possess a gym and a restaurant focusing on the healthy lifestyle."
在长沙生活怎么样?
How is life in Changsha?
“我在长沙生活得很幸福,在长沙我遇到了我的妻子,还有了我们的孩子。长沙和我的家乡费城很像,有炎热的夏天和潮湿的冬天,还有美味的美食,我可以沉浸在自己热爱的世界里,每天开启新的训练和生活,让自己和更多人变得更健康。”
"I am living a happy life in the happiest city of China.I met my wife here and we had an adorable daughter. Changsha is quite similar to my hometown Philadelphia, with hot summers and humid winters, and of course the great food. I like to immerse myself into the world I love and restart training and living every morning, which makes us healthier."
“我每天上午 8:30 至晚上10:00都会待在健身房里,一个我每天都可以逐渐变得更好的地方。健身完,我会泡冰桶、蒸桑拿,这有助于我的血液循环,提高免疫力。前不久,我们通过健身运动帮助两个慈善机构筹款,我完成了1434个俯卧撑,打破了60分钟内做俯卧撑的世界纪录,我觉得这是一件很有意义的事情。”
"I stay in the gym from 8: 30 AM to 10 PM everyday, this is the place where I can get better and better. After the workout, I soak myself in an ice bucket and then take a sauna, which helps blood circulation and improves immunity. Not long ago, we helped two charity organizations through fitness fundraising, I broke the world record by finishing 1,434 push-ups in 60 minutes,and I feel this experience is amazing."
“每天都有客户来我这里训练,我会拍下训练视频,剪辑成视频,把他们发布到我的社交账号上,给自己和客户观看,检查哪些地方是不是做得不够好,然后及时调整过来,以达到最佳效果,我很享受整个过程。”
"I have fitness enthusiasts in my gym everyday, I take videos for them and post on my social media accounts.I will watch with them together, checking out the actions and making timely correction. I enjoy the process of realizing a better result."
最喜欢长沙哪些地方?
What is the favorite place in Changsha?
“我和我的妻子去过长沙很多地方,我都很喜欢,我们的第一家店开在南门口,我觉得那里的氛围就很不错。我很喜欢长沙的美食,在我的餐厅里,我的许多菜肴都受到了费城和长沙的启发,就像我的辣椒炒肉费城三明治。”
"My wife and I have been to many places in Changsha, and I like the city everywhere. Our first store was in Nanmenkou, a famous place for the local food and unforgettable atmosphere. Changsha food is my preference, and many dishes in my restaurant are inspired by Philadelphia and Changsha food jointly, just like my Philadelphia sandwich of stir-fried meat with chili."
