A focus on teamwork and pushing yourself, combined with amazing activities the kids love.

Justin and Heather are great and flexible. Add on that it's founded with military roots and you can't go wrong choosing this experience for your kids.

We’ve had our daughter in classes at Hot Ground Gym for almost a year now, and she also went to their summer camp this past summer. I can honestly say this is the only camp (besides overnight camp) that we don’t have to fight to get her to go to. She actually wants to be there.

She comes home happy, sweaty, and worn out in the best way. The camp really pushes them in a fun, structured way—obstacle courses, team missions, relay races, even things like Nerf battles and waterslide days. Every day is a little different, which keeps her excited, and the small group teams make her feel like she belongs.

What I love most is that this isn’t just a place for kids to burn energy—it’s truly a leadership program. They rotate team leaders, learn accountability, and work together. We’ve seen such a difference in her confidence and the way she handles challenges since starting here.

On top of all that, this is a locally owned and veteran-owned business. Justin and his wife Heather are incredible—so invested in the kids, so intentional about what they’re building here, and it really shows.

We’re so thankful for Hot Ground Gym. Our daughter has had a blast, she’s grown as a leader, and she’s already asking when she can go back.

We love HGG!!! Our boys are 8 & 6 years old and they always love going to HGG! It is never the same, and they love the challenges and getting to work together and compete with their friends. Highly recommend this place for kids of all ages. It was a lifesaver this summer. Grateful it is here in Dripping Springs!

My family loves Hot Ground Gym! We've attended weekly classes, camp days and our oldest child had his 9th birthday party there. Coach Justin is fantastic with all ages, and the kids have a blast building strength and coordination while learning communication skills, teamwork and respect. Heather is friendly, helpful and communicative with booking and planning. Their schedule options are flexible, the rates are affordable, and they offer a free trial class so you can see for yourself before signing up. I highly recommend their program!

My boys LOVE Hot Ground Gym. We've done the homeschool class, the after school classes, day camps and summer camps. My 6yo and 11yo went to nearly every week of summer camp this year and had such a great time. Can't say enough good things. Check it out!

We had the best experience at Hot Ground Gym for my 5yo son’s birthday party! The kids had a blast! Justin is an amazing coach and so great with the kiddos. They made the set up, serving food, and clean up so easy! We signed up for a membership after because we loved it so much! My son can’t wait to go back! Definitely check it out if you have kiddos that love to go go go! They will enjoy it and sleep well!

⭐️ 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️

My son has been attending Hot Ground Gym Dripping Springs, and the transformation we’ve seen in him has been incredible. His confidence, strength, and overall physical ability have noticeably improved since starting the program.

What I love most is the focus on teamwork and character development. Coach Justin does an amazing job encouraging the kids and helping them build real confidence—not just in their physical skills but in themselves. You can tell he truly cares and is passionate about what he does.

The environment is structured, positive, and motivating. If you’re looking for a place that goes beyond just fitness and really helps kids grow as individuals, I can’t recommend this program enough.👍🏼

HGG is fabulous in so so many ways! The owners and their philosophy on supporting the kiddos, to their support of other small businesses in Drip. they are 5-star people and a 5-star facility! Coach Justin and staff are wonderful at teaching and giving structure but also letting them have a little fun while their at it. I'm so glad it came to Drip!
