Hot Ground Gym Arlington Heights runs an indoor obstacle-course day camp in which campers are placed in small 'units' of 6-10 kids and work as a team through obstacle courses, team-building missions, hand-eye 'target practice' challenges and games, earning points to spend at the gym's store. Camp is enrolled by the week, Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, with no minimum number of weeks required to register, and extended care runs 7-8am and 4:30-5:30pm. Open to ages 6-14 at the gym's College Drive facility.

★★★★★Rachel KallisonDoug and the entire team did a fantastic job with my son’s birthday party! From the minute we stepped in the door to when we wrapped things up, they handled everything — setup, cake cutting, cleanup, and of course keeping the kids engaged and entertained! My son loved getting to cut his cake with a real sword, and everyone loved the challenges and drills. Highly recommend for a birthday party for any group of energetic kiddos!
★★★★★Laila JaneMy son takes weekly classes here and loves it, so when he found out they also host birthday parties he insisted that his 9th birthday party be held here. It was the best decision! The kids had so much fun, and Doug and his assistants took care of everything from instructing the class to passing the food. My son's favorite was cutting his cake with a sword. I definitely recommend this place!
★★★★★Deanne GiannolaWe had our son’s birthday party at Hot Ground Gym, and from start to finish, it was an amazing experience. They handled everything from setup to cleanup, which made the day so easy and stress-free for us. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and fantastic with the kids. Everyone had a great time enjoying both the free play and the organized obstacle courses. We highly recommend HGG for a birthday party or any kids’ event.
★★★★★Melonie BehrensWow, if I could give Hot Ground Gym more stars, I would. I have attended both a weekly class, as well as a group outing. The staff always goes above and beyond to make each child feel comfortable and confident. We had a Girl Scout team building outing, and the girls left feeling stronger, more confident, and asking when they could go back again. Doug, the owner, was super easy to work with and accommodating. I'd highly recommend Hot Ground Gym for any child.

The kids had so much fun! My kids also go to camp there and they come home and tell me how much fun they had. We love Hot Ground Gym, Doug and his staff. They do an amazing job all around and I highly recommend them!
