About Hot Ground Gym
Owned and operated by military veterans and former first responders, HGG has devised a unique kids’ and teens' development system inspired by military service and a deep commitment to character building that nurtures future success. Founded in 2013, HGG’s training concept utilizes obstacle-based fitness and challenging team-building activities to offer a holistic and fun approach to learning that complements the traditional educational system.
HGG works with kids ages five and up, including teenagers. Many children who pass through our program become assistant instructors, further developing their leadership skills, and some grow to be employed by the program the very program they grew up in. At HGG, we offer a safe and supportive place for both kids and teens to have fun, make friends, and learn essential life skills through rugged physical activity. You’ll find us in Arlington Heights, close to Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, and in Libertyville, near Vernon Hills, Grayslake, and Mundelein.
