Sagra was able to enroll at the University of Colombia for fashion design when she graduated from the high school. Modeling was only possible on weekends. Colombians dislike women with muscles. Her body was thin. They met a fitness coach at a time as she went through her routine at the gym. That person was to change her life and her perception. Anllela Sagra was working out in a serious manner, and was spending increasing time at the fitness center. Her professional work as a model diminished as she grew larger muscles. Friends, family members and other acquaintances began to notice the changes occurring in her. They urged her to give up because they were worried that they would be causing damage to her body. But she was very passionate about her fitness goals and determined to achieve them. After about a year and a half and a half, she entered the fitness competition and was placed 3rd. Her reaction was quite awe-inspiring because it was her first time competing in bodybuilding. Also, she got positive feedback from experts and judges in the fitness industry. The model was confronted with one of the biggest dilemmas during that time, deciding whether to be the traditional Colombian model, or to be the very one and only Colombian Fitness Model. There was a fear of the negativity she'd face from becoming a fitness model, and was wondering if it was worth the risk. Then she decided it was worth the risk to become a fitness model. She has since stated that it was the best decision she's ever taken in her entire life. It was smart of her to capture her journey in the process as she moved from traditional modeling into fitness modeling as well as beyond. In a short time her popularity grew exponentially. Soon, she was the top Instagram star in her field. She took advantage of all available social media platforms. She also created an account on Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook account. In September, 2014, she started her YouTube channel and the first video was posted on February 24, 2016.
