Before she was famous: Bikini girl Sofia Vergara works up a sweat in racy Nineties commercial for a fitness club
She rose to fame as the sassy Colombian bombshell on hit TV show Modern Family.
But before her acting career took off in the U.S., Sofia Vergara modelled in several television commercials including this one - for Bally's Total Fitness.
In the raunchy and revealing ad, shot back in
1998, Sofia, 38, shows off her amazing body along with her naturally blonde hair.

Unearthed video: A TV commercial from 1998 starring a then unknown Sofia Vergara has surfaced
Body of work: The Colombian-born actress began her career as a model and showed off her amazing physique during the 60 second commercial
The star, who was just 26 at the time, can be seen working out in the gym, cycling on a stationary bike and then taking part in a dance class.
Wearing tight fitting and revealing gym gear the actress flaunted her enviable curves as she cruised her way through the gym.
She is then seen showing off the results
of her hard work in a tiny black string bikini while showering before heading t hang out around a swimming pool.
Her naturally blonde hair made her look completely different to the long dark brown waves we are used to seeing on her currently.
Last year the actress discussed dying her hair darker with Self Magazine.

Making moves: In the clip Sofia is seen working out on the machines, taking a dance class and then flashing her body in a bikini round the swimming pool
'I'm a natural blonde, but when I started acting, I would go to auditions, and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent - but I had blonde hair, admitted the Colombian born star.
'The moment I dyed my hair dark, it was, 'Oh, she's the hot Latin girl.' I loved it ... Being brunette toned me down a bit.'
Despite showing off her assets during the commercial, Sofia also
admitted she wasn't always happy with her body.
'I wanted surgery. I told my mom, 'As soon as I'm older, please take these boobs away. I'm a 34 DD. It's hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper.'
But her feelings changed as she got older and she now embraces her curves.
'I'm grateful I have them, and honestly, they've helped me a lot in my career. And I've always felt sexy.'
Jump start: Two years after the commercial was shot, Sofia began landing bit parts on American TV shows
