Ethnical Background: Polish/German
Favourite night spots : Well I am not much of a going out person, so I am perfectly happy laying out on my couch watching chick flicks or funny movies.....
Favourite type music/DJ: I don't really have favourites...I basically listen to anything high energy or that I can get through that hour of cardio at the gym.
Zodiac Sign: Pisces

Favourite Food: Hmm....where do I begin??? My favourite meal is turkey dinner (mashed potatoes,turkey with gravy and stuffing),also love sushi, Burrito Boys and The Pita Break in Toronto.
D-TEFLON: What's the Most Unusual thing about you that people Don't Know:
ALEX: This is a tough one because I am pretty much an open book.....I think that most people expect me to not have much of a personality and be as easy going and down to earth as I am....Its something that I hear quite often
D-TEFLON: How long have you been modelling and where do you want it to take you?
ALEX: I started doing fitness modelling in 2004 taking a long break do to personal issues that had to be dealt with, but now I am picking up where I left off....I definitely would like to do more on camera work such as commentary and interviews on Spike TV and sports networks. I really enjoy being around athletes and be more involved with individual sports.
I would like for people to see that I have a great personality and not just a great look...Also I enjoy learning and being a part of all aspects of the industry such as photography,hair/makeup,styling and possibly doing some editorial/contributing work.....Being involved with fitness is rewarding for me everyday because I get to pass on my knowledge and in any way I can bring health and fitness into peoples lives..... That brings me a lot of satisfaction.
D-TEFLON: What is the biggest misconception about modelling and being a model?
ALEX: Well being a "fitness model" I can tell you that its basically a full time job. A lot of sacrifice, discipline and hard work goes into reaching a certain goal and fitness level....I don`t think most people realize just how much hard work it can be. I think that a lot of people assume that most models are not intelligent and its easier than it looks....It is just as much mental as it is physical. You need to be pretty educated to reach the highest level of fitness...Just like with any other job you need to do your research....Education is the key to success!
D-TEFLON: What does bringing sexy back mean to you?
ALEX: Doing a ton of back extensions at the gym..ha ha kidding......I think its all about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. You need to feel happy with yourself and that is sexy!!
D-TEFLON:What Gets you Mad Quickly?
ALEX: It really takes a lot for me to get mad because I am so easy going and laid back....I know that I absolutely hate being lied to, disrespected by men and I get annoyed when I am approached at the gym.
D-TEFLON:What Makes a Man a good Lover?
ALEX: I would have to say not being selfish and paying attention to my needs foremost....Also recognizing the difference between sex and making love and knowing the appropriate time for that....
I want to know that the person I am with has all of his focus on me and its their main goal to make sure I`m happy. Kissing my neck doesn`t hurt either ....ha ha
D-TEFLON: "How would you self Describe yourself:
ALEX: Id have to say that I am very down to earth and easy going....I`am also very passionate about everything I do and the people in my life that matter the most. I'm extremely thoughtful and caring and unfortunately those are the things that have gotten me in trouble in the past.....
DTEFLON: What's the most romantic date you ever had?
ALEX: Still waiting:(......pathetic huh?
DTEFLON: What's the Worst Date you have ever had?
ALEX: Well I don`t date...I hate dating ...I am relationship person...but I remember years ago I went out with this guy and we went to dinner and a movie and his car got towed...We spent the whole night trying to track his car down all over Toronto.....so much fun!
DTEFLON:Who was your first crush?
ALEX: OMG ...this is so easy.....A guy named Cory McEachran who I went to high school with...He was so cute, smart and athletic and wanted nothing to do with me ha ha....
DTEFLON:What's the most attractive feature a man can have?
ALEX: It really depends on the individual. Everyone has something about them that is uniquely attractive. For me its not necessarily about the physical features. I find guys who are caring,respectful,confident and have a big heart most attractive....This is going to sound cheesy but looks fade and personality lasts forever so I might as well spend my life with my best friend right? If I had to choose a physical feature I would have to say really strong hands and forearms....not sure why lol :)
DTEFLON:What's your biggest turnoff?
ALEX: There are so many.....I think lack of confidence is a big one....I need to be with someone who is confident with themselves and being with me....Also men who disrespect women, aggressive,controlling and arrogant. Physically I don`t like long hair on guys or the scruffy unshaven look....
DTEFLON: Where's the place you most like to be stranded?
ALEX: Target-seriously I can spend hours and hours in there.....Also in bed with that someone special.... I think that`s my 2nd favourite place ...:)I
DTEFLON:What are the best and Worst pick up lines you've ever heard?
ALEX: Worst: I think I have heard all of them.....Men can be so unoriginal. One that I hear quite often is them pretending to mistaken me for someone else.
Best: There is one that really sticks out in my mind....Once when I was younger working as a waitress I had a customer ask me "Can I get anything I want on the menu?" so I told him yes and he dropped the menu on the ground and said "Alright can you stand on it, that`s what I want"..It was really sweet and embarrassing at the same time.
D-TEFLON:What's your idea of a perfect date?
ALEX: I am definitely not all about the fancy dinners and expensive presents...I really enjoy doing the simple fun things...so I would have to say going to an amusement park or Disneyland or spending the evening in bed and shutting off the phones watching movies and talking....quality time together.
D-TEFLON: How do you keep in Shape?
ALEX : Cardio baby!....I do a ton of cardio and also watch what I eat......I used to do a lot of weights but now I have limited myself to 2-3 times a week.....I usually train and eat clean all week long and have a cheat day on Sundays where I will eat whatever I want so that I wont crave it for another week. Also I try to stay away from alcohol as much as possible.
D-TEFLON: How do you feel the industry has changed from when you started?
ALEX: I have noticed a few things have changed over the years....It seems as though the standards have lowered a bit, especially with getting published....I used to look up to girls like Trish Stratus, Stacey Lynn, Amy Fadhli and Monica Brant....To me they represent a perfect balance of fitness and beauty.... Its seems as though now days the women you see in some of the fitness magazines are not necessarily fitness models. Also at the expos you don`t see as many fitness girls working the booths and representing the products....Makes you wonder if these models actually work out or use any of the products.... I also think there is a lot more pressure among some of the top girls to use steroids and have lasting power in the industry.
D-TEFLON:Most Memorable moment in your life to date?
ALEX:This is simple.....Meeting and training with my former trainer Ian Walling....Ian was the first person who truly believed in me and supported me...He helped me recognize who I was as a person and what I was capable of achieving.....I learned to develop and control my mental strength and establish the values and morals I have today..It was a really stressful and tough time in my life and I always felt he had my back and I had his support....I thank him for the direction my life has taken me and the person I am today.
D-TEFLON:What advice can you can to other inspiring models or women who are looking
to get into the entertainment & fitness and modelling industry?
ALEX: I would have to say to always do everything for the right reasons.....Make sure your heart is in everything you do and you are passionate about it.....Don`t do it to be famous or expect to make an insane amount of money.....You need to truly enjoy this lifestyle because there are a lot of sacrifices you will have to make....Make sure you surround yourself with people who are understanding and truly supportive of your choices....Its can be a lot of hard work but at the same time extremely rewarding... Being a good model is something that comes from the inside.....just because you look the part on the outside doesn`t necessarily mean you will be a good model....Also don`t forget the people who have been with you through the journey because there will be a lot of people who will want to be around you for the wrong reasons and it can get very lonely not knowing who your real friends are......:)
D-TEFLON:NYC VEGAS LOS ANGELES MIAMI TORONTO WHICH CITY DO YOU PREFER & WHY?
ALEX: Hands down....VEGAS!!!....I love Vegas for many reasons....Its absolutely beautiful and peaceful with the most amazing sunsets and it can be a fun and crazy place as well.....Away from the strip and the craziness its very quiet and tranquil and you will never run out of things to do.....Everything stays open 24/7 so if you want go to a pool party, tanning, groceries, dinner or the gym you can do it at any time.....I love the energy in Vegas as well and all the different people that pass through....Feels like you are always meeting new and interesting people....It is also a place with a lot of opportunities for anybody.....There is a huge focus on sports and fitness here which I love....I think anyone can do well here as long as they don`t have a problem with gambling, partying or strip clubs ha ha....
