Cheer star Gabi Butler is a gifted athlete. Fans want to know about her life beyond the hit Netflix reality show, and there is plenty to discover.
On Netflix’s hit show Cheer, Gabi Butler may be the most impressive cheerleader, and fans want to know everything about her. Cheer follows the lives of the members of Navarro College’s Bulldogs Cheer Team, based in Corsicana, Texas. The competitive cheerleading team trains extensively to compete in NCA National Championships. Coach Monica Aldama trains the cheerleaders but also acts as their mentor, often helping them to deal with their personal problems.
Gabi, who is originally from Boca Raton, Florida, has done competitive cheerleading since she was very young, and she won two championships before joining the Bulldogs Cheer Team. Since being on Cheer, Gabi has impressed fans with her tumbling and acrobatic skills. After season 1, Gabi announced her departure from the team, but fans can see her again in season 2, even though she graduated from Navarro College.
How Old Is Gabi Butler?
Despite her love for the sport, Gabi has shared that her cheerleading life will probably end soon. Although she’s still young at the age of 24 (her birthday is January 16, 1998), Gabi has practiced the sport since she was 8 years old, and she's said that it's starting to take a toll on her body. Besides the physical strain of the sport, Gabi has to be very conscious of her diet. According to Gabi's Instagram, she dedicates most of her time to training and honing her gymnastic skills. After she retires from cheerleading, Gabi has said that she's thought about being a stunt double in the future.
Following her departure from The Bulldogs, Gabi made it onto Weber State’s cheer team, Weber’s Wildcats. Gabi has shown a lot of enthusiasm for the team, saying that her cheerleading skills have improved since she joined. Her role on the team is to be a flyer, which is a cheerleader placed on the top of a stunt. She makes balancing on one hand in the air look easy, but she shared that it takes a lot of trust and many falls before she gets it.
The talented athlete Gabi keeps fans entertained with her YouTube channel, which has over 113K subscribers. Gabi features videos of her doing cheerleading stunts and gives fans a glimpse of her life beyond cheerleading. When she’s not training or competing, Gabi likes to take hikes to cool caves and try different cookie recipes. Currently residing in Ogden, Utah, she likes to run through the trails in the mountains during her downtime, to clear her mind and build stamina. While Cheer star Gabi may not be a cheerleader for long, she is clearly dedicated to the sport and inspires her many fans.
