Gym Crush – Anllela Sagra
Anllela Sagra – The Fitness Model
To some people, girls in gym clothes are hotter than girls in party dresses and Anllela Sagra is the perfect example of this. Sagra is a 25-year old Colombian fitness celebrity who has made her mark on Instagram with her drop-dead gorgeous face and a perfectly crafted physique.
Back at home in Colombia, lifting weights was thought of as a men’s thing and the idea of ‘muscular girls’ wasn’t well received. Anllela set out to challenge this mindset, and going by her gigantic following – she might have won the challenge.
A Flawless Physique
Anllela is from Colombia where being a fitness model wasn’t considered the right thing to do for a girl. Sagra started out wanting to become a normal fashion model but soon changed her ambitions after a chance encounter with a fitness enthusiast in the gym.
Anllela started lifting weights in the gym and turned her slim physique into a toned and muscular one. After getting a feel for the gym life, Sagra set out to become Columbia’s first female fitness model.
Anllela Sagra is beautiful, fit, strong and a lot of fun. Her unique personality and drive have garnered a lot of attention and turned her into a fitness icon, and her 11 million Instagram followers are proof.
Breaking Stereotypes
Don’t let her pretty face fool you. Sagra’s workouts are nothing short of brutal and will set your muscles on fire by the time you’re done. Anllela often shares her workouts on her Instagram page for you to follow along.

Anllela is big on motivational training videos and chances are you’ve already seen her in such videos before. Sagra’s work ethic and dedication are what have helped her achieve a chiseled body and the fitness celebrity status.
Look at her photos, and it feels like she is best friends with the camera. The Colombian beauty will leave you awe-struck with her photos, and wondering why don’t more girls lift weights.
Bathroom selfies might be a thing but Sagra takes it one step further with her bathroom videos. Photos can be edited with filters but the videos Anllela puts up are untouched and show her Greek-goddess body in its full glory.
Sagra’s washboard abs can put most of the fitness athletes to shame. Anllela maintains her conditioning throughout the year and looks like she is always ready to jump onto a magazine cover.
Anllela is raising the standards of selfies for the female fitness athletes with her gorgeous pictures. Sagra has upped the game for the ‘woke up like this’ selfies with just one post.
Not being around a gym can’t stop Anllela from getting a workout done. She isn’t the typical gym rat and enjoys the outdoor life. Follow Sagra on Instagram and she’ll keep you glued to your phone for hours.

Keep your mind, heart and eyes on what’s important ?How are you getting excited about 2020 ⁉️ Please Read ?? Save this post and visit it whenever you need it. – Taken at the incredible @museumhotel – As this year comes to an end I’m starting to see posts about how 2020 is going to be the year of_____ fill in the blank. If you really want to have a successful year you have to start now and get ahead of everyone that will be competing in your field. One thing @luisenriquepzia has taught me over our years of relationship and business together, Is to always evaluate where we are, what we are doing wrong and what have we done correctly? We take December to do that, and I encourage you to do the same. If you wanna have a really successful year. Start isolating the areas of your life that are important to you. Mine are these 5: Professional life Love life Family Friendships Health (mental, physical, spiritual). – After isolating them start by discarding the distractions around them! Visualize the big picture, and start dividing it into small goals and step that you will use towards achieving that goal. Once you’ve organized that you shall realize that many things you are investing time and energy on are just distractions! Time, right alongside health is the biggest currency you have in life! How you invest both of these into your purpose will dictate how you will fulfill your life. Your life Is either going to be a happy beautiful journey, or you will be miserable on your way to trying to achieve it! It’s your responsibility, your duty, your job to actively work towards your goals! And you only have two options around it! Either stay actively working to make the journey a joyful one or a miserable one! – If the choice is to make it a joyful one! Discipline is your biggest ally, because sometimes happiness is about having the discipline to stay the course and do the things you know will help you even if in that moment you don’t feel like doing them! – – #travel #healthylifestyle #mindfulness #motivation #traveling #positivevibes #happiness #love #couplegoals #couple #marriedlife

Lequeux has a travel bug and some of her pictures are truly scenic. The landscapes in her photos are wronged as she steals the limelight from them. Sharing the frame with Valentina is no easy task.

?INTIMACY & VULNERABILITY? – ? @DelekTulum – This series of photos were taken by my husband. And couldn’t help to think about how intimate they are, and the possible criticism I may receive. One common line I always get when I post this type of content is that I should keep these moments and visuals for my husband and not post them. – The truth is, for us it doesn’t matter what we showcase here on social media because our true intimacy comes from how vulnerable and open we are with each other, on how freely we communicate our thoughts, desires, hopes, dreams and also fears, confusion, anger, sadness and any other emotion, from the brightest to the darkest. – we have learned a lot through the years of being together and have found that the key to our happiest days is having judgment free communication ?? Always trying to put ourselves in the shoes of the other. – That type of intimacy is one that can’t really be shown on a photo or a video, that intimacy always happens behind closed doors, never filmed, never taken photos of it. It is our most private moments that build the strong bonds between us, and those moments makes us so strong that we can get all the judgment and criticism in the world and as long as we have our safe haven, we are sure that everything will be alright. – I encourage all couples to practice 100% honesty, no judgments, say what you need to say even though you think it may hurt the other person, it’s always better to be honest and open, this will help you grow as a couple faster and stronger. ?? – #DelekTulum #TashiDelek #DelekInspire #mindfulness #TulumMéxico #Tulumexperience #Tulumbeach #Tulumvibes #México #infinite #consciousness #happiness #changetheplanet #actoflove #wanderlust #peaceofmind #travel #hotel #beachhotel #vacation #toursim #beach #ocean #sea #luxurytravel #beautifuldestinations #explore #nature #adventure #landscape

Keeping It Real

??LOVE & PEACE ♥️ – ?PLEASE READ? ? @ajkphotography1 ? @villacellabella – Hati in Indonesian means “heart”, emphasising the spiritual meaning, more so than your actual heart. Hati hati means “watch your heart” or in other words, “take care”, “watch out” or “take it easy”. I’ve heard it used mostly in the context of “slow down”. I’m used to living in an environment where we rush everywhere, we rush to get up in the morning, we rush our lunches or even worse, we eat lunch at our desks or whilst walking on the streets, or standing up at home, we drive fast to get somewhere quickly just to rush through that activity too. This is for sure how people live here in South Florida. So… when do we ever slow down?? – My experiences in Bali we’re much like back at home. We essentially took with us our lifestyle from back home and didn’t practice hati hati. I have to be honest that @luisenriquepzia and I have a hard time with slowing down and taking life in. We’re so wrapped up in so many projects, and making a successful life for ourselves that we have a tendency to rush through life. I would love to tell you that in this photo I felt calm and in the moment. But the truth is that I was feeling some anxiety over creating the perfect content for you guys. – The experiences that I create and you see here always have a purpose behind them. I want to share with you my life, in hopes that you and I learn together how to be more in the moment, more present, feel healthy and happy, and find some meaning and purpose when lost spiritually. – So why are the Balinese so peaceful and do everything with gratitude? With love? With patience? Because they have practiced, yes practiced this lifestyle for years, this is all they know, and in turn the life’s we lead is all we know! Practicing gratitude, love, peace and patience is what we struggle with, so why not practice more of these things in hopes of leading a more bountiful life, spiritually and finally being able to let go, not be so controlling and being more at peace ??

PDA? Yes, please. While most other fitness athletes try to hide their relationships, Valentina breaks away from this practice. She is one of the most transparent, humble, and genuine people you’ll find on the internet.

MAKING A CHANGE or START LIVING⁉️ – [email protected]_photography Gym @gee.gym – Before I get into today’s talk, I want to thank everyone who’s already signed up for my 8 week challenge ! You guys have me SOOO excited to see some major mind, health and body changes. And for everyone who is asking, yesterday’s post has all the info on how to enter, I still have spots open don’t worry! – Now to the REAL TALK…This isn’t your typical “NEW YEAR NEW YOU” bunch of sappy stuff, stick around because this is about to get real… – Making a living, vs LIVING, and actually taking a risk, so big that you don’t know if the outcome will be good, or bad, is scary AF!!! For all you guys that have been reading my posts for years, have come to see some major achievements in my life, and I’ll tell you what, behind EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was a scary decision made. Not a lazy one, not a half ass one, a FULL BLOWN decision made to do something SCARY (yes I have to CAP LOCK those words, trying to make an impact here…) – Ok, yes we’ve heard it before, “Take a leap,” “take a risk…” blah blah blah. But what people don’t talk enough about, is the reality, what it looks like after the fact that you take that risk, that leap. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, because, well, when do I ever sugarcoat anything around here? ITS SCARY and it REAL, and there will be tears of happiness, of sadness, of fear, but man I have NEVER felt more alive, more full of energy and more HAPPY than in THOSE moments guys. I’M SERIOUS! – I want you all to understand one thing, and one thing only, I am NOT perfect, and I don’t pretend to know eveything but what I am doing here, every single day is taking a leap into the UNKNOWN, and taking risks and failing, and trying again, and picking myself up every time things don’t go my way, why? Because I have already seen the math work, I have seen that after so much hard work, learning and trials and errors that when I seek out what I want badly enough and I GET SHIT done, guess what? I get it. – So? How badly do you want that thing you’re thinking about right now? Take the risk, do it, and don’t be lazy. The only reason you won’t get it is because you didn’t try it to begin with.

There could be no better way to end the article than sharing a quote by Valentina herself – “Everyone needs to understand that your body is capable of amazing things and you can shape it and build it to its highest potential.”
