Dubbed the “Brené Brown of Down Under” by those who have heard her story, Alexa Towersey is a powerful voice and positive role model in the health and fitness industry. Her recent triumph on Discovery Channel’s highest rated reality series, Naked and Afraid (Season 17) saw her survive 21 days in the Colombian jungle, showcasing her mental toughness, compassion and infectious humour which quickly captivated audiences worldwide.

Alexa has extensive media experience as a television presenter and health & fitness expert, being featured internationally on Bloomberg Asia and CNN’s The Don Lemon Show. She was the Fitness Expert for Australian Channel 9's Weekend Today, the challenge host and Taskmaster for Asia's Supermodel Me on Diva Universal, the Roving Reporter for Australian Women’s Health & Fitness Magazine and Australian Ironman & Bodybuilding Magazine and the face and host for Maxim Fitness TV on 7 Mate.

Her original signature female focused weight training program ‘Creating Curves” (based on the workouts of former Miss Universe Australia Renae Ayris), garnered international success with Harpers Bazaar Australia and Malaysia labeling her "The Model Whisperer" in reference to her transformations within elite circles.  Alexa herself has also been profiled in Elle, Marie Claire, Women’s Health & Fitness, Strong Fitness Magazine, Maxim Australia and Men’s Health.

Having studied post graduate Sports Journalism, Alexa enjoys writing herself. She was formerly the Head Trainer for both Women’s Health and Fitness Magazine Australia (with a monthly fitness column “Talking with Towersey”), and Head Trainer for Strong Fitness Magazine Australia (with a bimonthly mental health focused column “Livin’ Strong with Lex.”)   She is currently the fitness contributor and “Gains Guru” for Maxim Magazine Australia and NZ.
