Meet The Strength Collective
Most strength programs overwhelm you with random exercises or push you straight into advanced lifts without a foundation. The Strength Collective is different.
Across six weeks, Sandy Brockman takes you through progressive levels that stack the basics in the right order—so you’re never guessing or rushing your progress.
This program blends:
- Big compound lifts mastered with precision
- Corrective exercises that unlock tight muscle groups
- Mind–muscle connection so you activate the right muscles
- Mobility work that frees up tight areas holding you back
The result? Smarter strength training that builds confidence in the gym and power you can feel in everyday life.

Q&A with Sandy Brockman
What makes this program different from other strength programs?
“Most skip the foundations. Even seasoned lifters need to perfect their form and reconnect with the basics. That’s how you grow safely and sustainably.”
Why pair strength training with corrective exercises?
“Correctives are the secret weapon. They fix alignment, unlock muscles that feel ‘stuck,’ and help you access your full strength potential.”
How do the three levels build on each other?
- Weeks 1–2: Beginner → Learn alignment and master mind–muscle connection.
- Weeks 3–4: Intermediate → Add weight while keeping perfect form.
- Weeks 5–6: Advanced → Lift heavier with total confidence.
“Each level layers onto the next. You’ll never feel like you skipped a step—and your body will thank you for it.”
What can members expect by the end of 6 weeks?
“Stronger, more mobile, and more confident. You’ll see visible growth, better alignment, and a powerful posterior chain.”
Why is mastering the fundamentals so important?
“Because strength training is layered. Without the basics, you risk injury and wasted effort. Fundamentals first, always.”
Favorite exercise?
“The squat. It shows me everything—strengths, weaknesses, and potential.”
What do you hope members take away?
“Confidence. Knowing you’re lifting correctly and building real, functional strength.”
Why join the obé community?
“They’re smart, driven, and curious. I can’t wait to grow with them and celebrate their progress.”
Why Benchmarks Matter
At the start and finish of The Strength Collective, you’ll track two simple benchmarks:
- Waist-to-Hip Ratio: See how your body composition changes through posterior chain training.
- Pushups: Measure your upper-body and core strength gains over six weeks.
These benchmarks aren’t about perfection—they’re about visible, measurable progress you can see and feel.

The Strength Collective isn’t about chasing numbers—it’s about building the foundation you’ll carry into every lift, every workout, and every phase of your fitness journey.
