Hot Ground Gym Arlington Heights

We had our sons 8th birthday party here over the weekend and it was amazing!! Easiest party I have ever thrown and the leaders were so helpful. They kept the kid engaged and having fun the whole time!!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the amazing camp experience over the past 2 weeks. My son has had nothing but glowing reviews of the activities, structure, and leadership at HGG. Quite honestly it is the ONLY thing that's ever managed to tire him out; he is quite the high energy kid! A couple days he actually came home and took a NAP!Every day he comes home raving about the obstacle courses, team challenges, and of course... Fridays (Nerf/water fun)! He honestly wishes it would never end- and it fills my heart with so much joy.What you've built is empowering, inspiring, and just plain awesome! I'm a huge proponent of teaching kids the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, and feel that your program is so valuable because it does so in a fun and engaging way.We will definitely be back for Jr. Boots classes and more!

Wow! We had the best experience at Hot Ground Gym this weekend celebrating my daughters 6th birthday. I was beyond impressed with the service the team provided. They greeted me at the door, helped me carry everything in and set up. The kiddos absolutely loved the experience. Such a well organized business with amazing customer service! THANK YOU!

This was an awesome experience for my daughter's 8th birthday party. We got to sit back and watch as Marty and his team led 20 girls in fun, engaging activities that they all seemed excited about! They did a great job of highlighting the birthday girl, but also working in team. As a teacher myself, I loved how everything was fun, but controlled... And that I wasn't in charge of anything. We will definitely be back for classes or camp!

Just had my daughter's 8th party here and it was wonderful from start to finish! They highlight the birthday child over and over again making them feel so special! AND they get to cut their cake with a sword! Book your next party here in no way will you be disappointed! Thanks guys!

My kids love hot ground gym! They have been going for years are never get tired of it because the missions and obstacles are constantly changing. Every class is carefully planned so that it builds on the skills they worked on the week before and the kids can really see the progress they're making. The instructors are very well trained and make a point of building a relationship with every child as well as their families. Every child is encouraged and taught based on their own capabilities and they leave class feeling accomplished (and tired!). In addition to the physical skills, they are constantly being taught to problem solve, use critical thinking and work together with other kids. As they get older and advance through the ranks, the kids start getting extra responsibilities such as leading missions and helping teach the younger kids. As a part of this they also work on public speaking and how to teach skills to kids of different ages. Hot ground gym is the best after school activity!

A great healthy encouragement for my son and friends.We celebrated a 12 year olds birthday despite the fact it was a small group of kids, the training team created the perfect workout environment for them.A VERY friendly team of young adult instructors who made the hour in half in a short time, fun, cheerful, and energized to workout and have fun with the helpful party staff…awesome equipment and cool obstacles are great for building your strength and team work in a very clean environment ….Highly recommended!

Had our Daughter's birthday here(8yo) and Marty and his team were awesome. The facility looks new and is extremely clean. The instruction and activities were challenging but fun for the entire group. We will definitely be enrolling in classes here. They exceeded our expectations at every turn.

Best choice I ever made for my kid. Birthday parties and videos on Facebook simply do not give this place its due. There is so much more to this place than any first impression can deliver. On the surface, kids learn things like how to use tools and simple machines, how to navigate and overcome obstacles, how to do hard things safely. But it is the implicit lessons that will wow you: how to break hard things down to not be overwhelmed; how to see challenges as learning opportunities and not quitting opportunities; that you don’t need to be loud to be heard, you don’t need to be strong or fast to help your team succeed, and that success is not always about being first or fastest or strongest. The men who lead these classes and teach these character-building life lessons are seasoned veterans, strong and imposing men who take a knee and speak softly to our kids to empower them without ever intimidating them. I cannot say enough about this place or the men who own and operate both this location and the Libertyville location.

We love Hot Ground Gym!!! Amazing instructors, awesome workouts, and huge emphasis on teamwork! We first learned about Hot Ground Gym when my daughter got invited to a friend's bday party there that was hands-down one of the coolest parties …
