Meet the team
Cassandra Gersbach
FOUNDER & Pilates INSTRUCTOR
Living a fulfilling life, with family, loved ones, work, study and of course Pilates. My only regret is not having connected with Joe Pilates method earlier. Having personally tried many modalities since a young age from Aerobics, Weight Lifting, Cross fit and even Tae Bo back in the day ha-ha, while all had their purpose, were fun and I have a lot of fond memories, however as I listen to my body’s needs I was in search for something sustainable. The minute I got on a reformer I knew it was a machine to be honoured and respected, I was humbled and encouraged all at the same time. Following on from my own personal experience and enjoying movement in my own body, I knew I had to learn more about the Pilates Method. I started with reformer training and was certified at HIIT Pilates Sydney NSW. Once I began teaching my eyes were opened to more apparatus like the Trapeze, Wunda Chair, Barrels just to name a few. While scary at first, I embraced this in my body and challenged my mental capacity for learning again. (Why didn’t I do this when I was 25?) I soon enrolled and now am comprehensive trained in Studio and Mat certified with Polestar Pilates Brookvale NSW.
With 1000’s+ of hours under my wing, beautiful mentors and fellow colleagues Australia wide, it’s time to share with my community. So as an outcome of my personal sacrifices mixed with a labour of love…FLEXX CO is born. I hope you enjoy this space, and it too becomes your space to help you define your FLEXX in and out of the studio.
Sincerely,
Cassandra X

PILATES INSTRUCTOR
I initially fell in love with Pilates as I saw it as my “me-time”. It is one of the only activities where I was able to successfully switch my brain off from all the noise. I was able to focus on something that made me feel good, so it was great for not only my physical health but also mental health.
I love that it is a low impact sport that increases strength, flexibility, balance & posture. In my classes, you’ll find a good mix of all of this, lots of variety & plenty of opportunities to find that extra spice!

Allira Fialkowski
PILATES INSTRUCTOR
I am a Diploma qualified PITC Pilates Instructor. I have been teaching since 2019 to a variety of clients in group classes, semi private and private sessions.
I was first introduced to Pilates during a mat class back in 2001 and loved how it reminded me of my days as a gymnast balancing strength and stretch.
In my classes you can expect individualised attention and hands on correction. My classes are challenging and a mix of traditional and modern exercises. My classes are designed for everybody!
When I’m not at the studio teaching, I prefer a relaxing day outdoors at the beach exploring the surrounding areas. I also enjoy watching true crime documentaries.

My goal as a Pilates teacher is to encourage fearless movements in fun & safe classes. I aim to instill confidence in all client’s own physicality & freedom of movement.
There is always a new move to teach or a new way to the make exercising more challenging therefore there is always growth physically & mentally.

I fell in love with Pilates for the way it makes you feel, strong, grounded, and completely connected to your body. That passion led me to complete my Reformer Pilates teacher training. I’ve loved sharing the magic of Pilates ever since.
My teaching style is upbeat, flowy and fun, I like to use just the right prop to fire up your muscles and dial in your alignment. I want you leaving class feeling strong, centered, and like you've worked every muscle.
Outside the studio, I’m a medical student obsessed with all things wellness and movement. If I’m not deep in anatomy textbooks, you’ll find me on the hockey field, at touch footy, or playing pretty much any sport I can get my hands on!
