Sonia grew up in Pereira, a city in Colombia located in the foothills of the Andes.

At the age of 22, she saw bikini models in magazines, and decided to push her limits by going to the gym.
Her early visits at the gym didn’t yield a lot of results as she lacked the proper knowledge on training and nutrition, so she hired a coach and then started to see results. She was inspired to go further, and in 2006 decided that she would become a competitive bodybuilder. However, there weren’t a lot of opportunities available near home so she decided to move to the US, settling in California. She continued training, and making her name known in local competitions.
Over the years, Isaza would gain qualification into more prestigious competitions, and she became a part of the Arnold Strongman Classic which is an annual competition featuring strength athletes from all over the world. As the name denotes, it was created by Arnold Schwarzenegger and is usually held in various locations around the world. She spent time in Australia and was encouraged by others to try and share her progress online. This led her to create an account on Instagram, a move which would become pivotal towards her current career path.
