Meet Gabi—and say hello to your greatness.

Gabriella Wal­ters is the founder Inferno Hot Pilates, the first ded­i­cated Hot-Pilates stu­dio in Las Vegas. Orig­i­nally from Budapest, Hun­gary, Gabi grew up as an accom­plished ath­lete, com­pet­ing in Track and Field and win­ning her age group in many events includ­ing the Long Jump, High Jump, 400m, and 800m dis­tances. She moved to the US in 2002 to com­pete in Fit­ness where she participated in dozens of contests across the coun­try and had promising career ahead of her when a severe knee injury changed her life in 2004.

No longer able to compete, Gabi looked to heal herself physically and emotionally through med­i­ta­tion, yoga, and pilates. During this time, she learned the benefits of low impact training, one which requires no jumping or running. It wasn’t long until Gabi incorporated her track and field experience by using High Intensity Interval Training, or H.I.I.T, into her workouts.

In 2008, Gabi’s spir­i­tual jour­ney took her to India, where she learned Deek­sha (One­ness Bless­ing). After months of prayer and med­i­ta­tion on the other side of the globe, Gabi came home to Las Vegas and real­ized her own pur­pose — to make a dif­fer­ence in the world and in other people’s lives. Chan­nel­ing her desire to help oth­ers with her love of fit­ness, Gabi began study­ing Yoga — becom­ing a Hatha Yoga Instruc­tor and get­ting cer­ti­fied in Power Yoga (Bryan Kest). Soon after Gabi became cer­ti­fied in Pilates through Bal­anced Body Uni­ver­sity (Jes­sica Abed-Rabbo) and started the Hot Pilates craze in the Las Vegas area.
