About Hot Ground Gym
HGG is owned and operated by military veterans and former first responders. Our team of owners and instructors is what separates HGG from the rest. Our no-nonsense approach to development, teaching, and training, which is derived from our service-connected experiences, but is tempered by the fact that “these are children, not soldiers”, allows us to cultivate a self-confidence instilling environment that is truly unique, beneficial, and super fun.
We have dedicated our lives to the physical, mental, and character development of children. Our slogan is “Strengthening the Future”. We nurture the rugged potential of every child that comes to us through the programs we offer.

FAQ about Our Chicago Kids Activities
Can kids take part in fitness classes together?
While you are absolutely welcome to watch your kiddos as they complete our classes, our children’s courses are only meant to accommodate those within the intended age range of 5-14.
My child is kinda sporty but currently hates “regular sports”. Is HGG a good fit for them?
For sure! Since our beginning, we have noticed that some students enjoy having a physical outlet but do not necessarily enjoy the pressures of “traditional sports”. Other students attend HGG classes in between sports seasons or still during a season. We also have several “success stories” where children have trained in our program for a while, then moved on to a traditional sport with more confidence and excelled.
My child is shy. Will they be able to work in a team?
If your child is prone to shyness, we can fix it. Our 5 Pillars of Confidence, which are part of our unique system of child development, are aimed at helping your kiddo start feeling comfortable around other children and develop teamwork and leadership skills.
Can parents observe their kids’ activities?
Sure! While you can drop off your kiddo and run some errands in peace, you can just as well stay for the whole time of a class, camp, birthday party, or team-building event.
