Hot Ground Gym® was founded in 2013 by two military veterans. Doug Gialds a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and Paul Plotkin a veteran of the Israeli Special Forces.

Being young fathers ourselves, we realized that there are many kids programs that are too traditional, lacking in character development content, based on rehearsed skills and introduced to kids as if they were adults. We wanted something else to our children. So we decided to create our own program. We invested a lot of time to create a comprehensive program that can help kids grow strong physically, mentally while they have fun. 

Hot Ground Gym® is not a typical gym, It is a lifestyle. Each kid has an opportunity to unfold their full potential, through a unique training experience at Hot Ground Gym®.
