Origin Story

Bio photoStrength Origins was founded by Alex Corbett, a lifelong lifter, physical therapist, and Air Force veteran. Alex originally enlisted in the Air Force to pursue a Special Warfare career and completed the initial Combat Control selection course before an injury prevented him from continuing the pipeline. That experience ultimately set him on a different path, leading him to pursue and earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.

Preparing for and going through that training shaped his belief in the value of physical challenges that require preparation, push you beyond your comfort zone, and force you to adapt.

Years later, working as a physical therapist reinforced the value of strength and physical capacity. He saw firsthand how both are foundational to building physical resilience.

Strength Origins grew from that belief: that physical challenges give people a reason to get stronger and push their capabilities—and that the work it takes to reach those milestones deserves to be recognized.
