MUSCLE RESTORATION
You want to get the most out of life, but when you’re dealing with chronic muscle tightness, lingering weakness from an old injury, or painful movement that persists despite medications, therapies, or even a surgery that should have “fixed” the problem, your daily life suffers. Muscle Restoration targets the sources of your chronic injuries, muscle imbalances, and painful movement by identifying areas in your system where poor communication between your nervous system and your muscle system is disrupting proper muscle function. The Muscle Restoration process uses physiology-based strategies to help “re-educate" the affected muscle groups and restore optimal muscle contraction, control, and endurance. As a Muscle Restoration Specialist, I design individualized, custom-tailored exercises as a problem-solving tool for your chronic injury, muscle imbalances, and painful movement. Muscle Restoration improves the performance of your muscles and joints where you need it most, so you feel great when you move . . . and get back to living your life on your terms!
MEDICALLY-BASED PERSONAL TRAINING
If you want to get the most out of your exercise sessions (and your life!) while dealing with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, or other health conditions, you’ll need a plan designed specifically tailored to address your individual needs. Jessica will devise a custom-built exercise program to lower your risk and maximize your quality of life. She can also communicate with your physician about your exercise plan, so you have a coordinated team of health professionals on your side!
PERSONAL HEALTH CONSULTING
In today’s busy world, it’s easy to become over-stressed and under-cared for. This leads to weight issues, low energy, poor sleep, digestion problems, hormone imbalances, and skyrocketing stress levels that interfere with your enjoyment of life. Personal Health Consulting helps by providing custom-designed education and personalized planning for healthy eating, exercise prescription, stress management, digestive health, sleep and more. Having your own Personal Health Strategy will set you up for success toward a healthy body composition, better energy, effective stress management skills, and lower risk for disease so you can live healthier and happier! Jessica offers one-on-one consulting as well as group Health Strategy seminars.
ABOUT JESSICA
A perfectionist and self-proclaimed school nerd, my most valuable strength is in using my problem-solving skills to help my clients overcome all types of physical instability to help them live the life they want and deserve. With 20 years of experience in both clinical and fitnesss settings, I look forward to seeing my clients each day because of my passion for creating custom-built strategies for better health and happiness. I have a wonderful husband and two spunky daughters, and my “fun time” usually consists of cooking, running, listening to great music, or absolutely any activity that lets me enjoy the outdoors.

Craig Stolz
B.S., MATM
CBUS Muscle Mechanic
Philosophy:
“I know the feeling of living in fear of my pain and losing the freedom to do whatever I want in life” (Craig Stolz). At 28 years young, Craig would start an 8-year journey, exploring every possible path to gain control and understanding of his sudden and debilitating back pain. Multiple doctor visits, prescription drugs, two bouts of physical therapy, an MRI, and a surgery recommendation later, Craig was brimming with frustration, left with a diagnosis of a herniated disk and no relief. As time went on, pain flare-ups became more frequent and more intrusive to his day-to-day activities.
As a trainer working with clients to regain their strength and function after injury, he felt like a fraud - as though he were hiding a secret, trying to mask his own horrible pain and dysfunction. Craig graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology. He knew his craft inside and out. He knew the intricacies of the body, the muscular system and how to train for proper function. He knew all the “right” things to do, except they weren’t working for him.
Craig was then introduced to a widely unknown technique called Muscle Activation ( M.A.T.). With his back pain still severely limiting his physical capability, he jumped at the opportunity to give it a try. After one session, Craig remembers saying, “I don’t know what you just did, but I can tell something has changed”. It wasn’t an overnight fix, but with continued sessions coupled with exercise homework, his back pain was resolved. Craig states, “I no longer have back pain. Back pain doesn’t limit me. It doesn’t define me. This is why I had to learn this technique…why I am so passionate about it. And this is how I want to help people get better.”
Craig is now a Muscle Activation Techniques Specialist and a Medical Exercise Specialist. He has over 30 years of experience working with injuries ranging from joint pain to paralysis. He has worked alongside doctors, surgeons, physical therapists and chiropractors to further his knowledge of managing and implementing injury rehabilitation programs.
Craig’s local Columbus, Ohio business was born from his passion for restoring correct body function and his first-hand experience of being left with no options after the typical medical/therapy model was ineffective in helping him. He is known as the Cbus Muscle Mechanic. He gives his clients the gift of seeing them not as a “pain”, but as individuals who deserve a personalized approach so they, like Craig, can regain the freedom to do whatever they want in life.
You know what they say. Sometimes it's the average athlete that makes the best coach.

Mark Hall
Personal Trainer
Certified by: ISSA
Hello everybody!
My name is Mark Hall. My certifications are through International Sports Sciences Association for both personal training as well as nutrition. I attended Otterbein University in 2009 after graduation Roger Bacon high school in Cincinnati, OH. I studied Business administration for my major and a minor in sports exercise and nutrition. My goal is to eventually apply both skills I have acquired through education and experience and operate my own gym where clients can train for everyday health goals or reach their performance goals.
My fitness journey started as a kid playing football at the age of 5 and basketball by the age of 6. I played both sports competitively all the way through my entire high school career, where I eventually chose to pursue my football career at the collegiate level. I played 2 years of football at Otterbein university as a running back and kick returner on special teams before tearing my ACL and MCL. It was during my rehab process that I decided I wanted to start teaching and helping people become bigger, faster, and stronger, while also helping people achieve their ideal physique in the process applying my nutritional knowledge.
My unique style of training focuses on strength training, athletic performance, as well as weight loss and/or building muscle. Being an athlete for many years, I now want to pass on my knowledge to other young athletes or just people looking to stay in shape or healthy and continue to help people grow and develop day in and day out. I love helping people achieve their goals and having fun during the process.
Health is wealth, and every time you’re in the gym or training, you’re making a daily deposit to that bank account. Contact me for a free consultation and let me help you reach your goals.

Asayehen Mamay
ACE CPT
Bio & Training Philosophy:
My name is Asayehen Mamay and I am a certified personal trainer based in Dublin,Ohio. After earning a degree in Finance and a minor in Analytics from Ohio University in 2020, I spent two years working in Operations for Lower.com, a mortgage lender. However, my passion for health and wellness led me to change careers and pursue personal training. I earned my personal training certification through ACE Fitness and soon after, launched Choose Wisely Personal Training.
My training style revolves around four key pillars: resistance training, muscle development, fat reduction, and proper nutrition. Furthermore, I am interested in the connection between mindfulness and physical well-being. I encourage clients to engage in self-reflection throughout their fitness journey by asking questions such as: "Why am I doing this?", "Is this effective for me?", "How do I feel?", and "What's my next step?" I believe that by cultivating self-awareness, clients can achieve lasting success in their fitness endeavors and improve their overall well-being.
Ultimately, my mission is to guide clients in building self efficacy in training and transforming their body composition one session at a time.
Let’s embark on this fitness journey together!
