'The Bachelorette' Season 21 contestant Hakeem Moulton worked hard to complete his education at Northwestern University 

Hakeem Moulton began his educational journey at Harper College, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree from 2012 to 2014. He then continued his studies at the University of Chicago,  graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion.

Throughout his time at the university, Hakeem was actively involved in various clubs including the pre-physical therapy club, Kinesiology club, and Elohim Bible Study Club. He later pursued his Master's degree in Sports Administration from Northwestern University, completing his studies in 2020.

"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. To anyone who needs to hear it, your reality is NOT contingent on someone else’s opinion of you. I’m so thankful for all of my colleagues and NU faculty I’ve met. Receiving my masters here has been such a blessing. I’m overjoyed by what the future holds for me. Go Wildcats!" he shared on Instagram at that time.

'The Bachelorette' Season 21 star Hakeem Moulton is a fitness freak

Hakeem Moulton is dedicated to fitness and regularly hitting the gym. His social media presence, particularly on Instagram, showcases his intense workout routines and commitment to staying in shape.

At the time of this writing, he has amassed a following of approximately 2,000 followers on the platform. In a recent post, Hakeem discussed his goal of achieving a well-rounded physique through his fitness journey.

"When most guys first start hitting the weight room, they often shoot for three things: Chest, arms, and abs. But if you want to build a balanced physique, and a bulletproof, strong body, then you have to start with the muscles you can’t see: Your back muscles," Hakeem writes.

Hakeem added, "Why? Because your back is filled with key muscles that clean up your posture, safeguard your shoulders, and make you look just plain jacked, too. From lats to rhomboids, to spinal erectors, a host of key muscle groups lie behind you."

"Back Day Exercise 1: Seated Row 4x8 Exercise 2: Incline DB Row 4x10 Exercise 3: Lat Pull Down superset Straight Arm Pulldown 3x12 each Exercise 4: DB Shrugs superset Back Fly 3x8<>3x15

Exercise 5: Lateral Raises 100 reps in as few sets as possible 🎥," he concluded.
