My name is Marvin Tookes. Fitness enthusiast & maven. I have achieved a Bachelors of Integrative Studies degree with a concentration/minor in Exercise Science from Oakland University. My degree has allowed me the ability to combine disciplines, preparing me for a promising career in the field of Exercise Science/ Strength & Conditioning. The BIS( Bachelors of Integrative Studies) degree allows one to put together experiences that a regular discipline student would not be able to achieve without going off the path of his/her requirements. This degree empowers an individual to create a plan of study, allowing classes of interest that he/she believes will contribute to their success, and overall knowledge. Being able to take such classes can help one concentrate, and also look forward to the next course of study. Also, being able to meet students of different disciplines, networks, and also establish relationships that could one day lead to future opportunities, and life long relationships.

The focus of my degree is directed toward the field of Exercise Science research or becoming a professional strength & conditioning trainer/coach. Learning to improve training for athletes of all sports. Assisting with injury prevention, working with pro athletes/ future athletes to help them develop longevity in their prospective career sport, and also dedicating myself to become as knowledgable as possible. Developing my talents, and contributing to helping others perform at their full potential.

In addition, I am looking forward to becoming an entrepreneur, creating a training facility to help with multiple community-related health problems which stem from the lack of inactivity and poor health/nutritional choices. I am looking forward to the opportunity to help others understand themselves as individuals, teaching them to refrain from categorizing themselves. I encourage people to be responsible for having the biggest and most positive impact on their lives and others around them.
