I wouldn't necessarily call GymTyme an up and coming gym :P they are one of the leaders in Worlds Titles. (And in just world titles. As in at one point they only had multiple gold medals from worlds, no 2nd or 3rds.) but I think your theory holds some ground. Gabi always struck me as a free spirit and someone who just kind of goes with the flow of life even if she changes her mind halfway through. Those people are hard to pin down somewhere for a long time. Sometimes those people don't have motives for the things they do, they do it because it simply "feels right" to them.
Regardless of what is happening I wish them the best. It's doubtful that this show they are doing would be televised but I think Gabi would be one of the few "cheerlebrities" I would pick who could really put all star in a positive light for the rest of the world. Sort of like CJA's show but instead of focusing on a team they focus on the individual and the individual sacrifices some children make for cheer and how the sport is growing. So maybe more like the CNN special but made into a 10 episode mini series just about her. She has enough experience and an interesting "backstory" to be interesting to others outside the cheer world. And I'm sure other children who are exceptional in what they do and make sacrifices like she did could watch and relate.
To be honest I wasn't always a fan of Gabi but she's proven herself to be smart and mature and not one of the cheerlebrities who constantly try to draw attention to themselves. The attention is just kind of placed on her because of her talents and she handles it well whether she likes it or not. She's very real and she does a great job balancing all of this world class cheerleader pressure on top of trying to be a normal kid. She also seems like a huge perfectionist and is very hard on herself at times but I think that adds to the "realness" of her. She knows she's not absolutely perfect even when the whole world is telling her she is which is super refreshing to see. (Do you know how sick I am of seeing well known people acting like they are gods gift to this earth?) I know people will disagree with me on these things but that's what I see from her.
I respect Gabi very much and am excited to see how GymTyme works out for her. When I heard she was going to GT I said to myself, "yeah, I could definitely see her cheering there. Something about her makes her fit so well with them. This will be very cool to watch unfold."
