And you'll like yourself after you leave.
Everything we do at The Hill Country Health & Fitness Center at Rancho Cortez is done to help our guests get in control of their lives, their health, and their future. So it's not surprising that the two best things about The Hill Country Health & Fitness Center is how good guests feel here, and how good they feel about themselves when they leave here for home.
Our striving to change their lives for the better isn't just an idle claim, as we work very hard to help them shed pounds, increase self-confidence and become more secure in their ability to maintain their weight goals and live a healthier, happier, more rewarding life.
Our Promise:
You'll feel better.
You'll look better.
And you'll leave here better prepared for living a healthier life.

Perhaps it's the gorgeous scenery, perhaps it's the fresh air. Or maybe it's all the wonderful activities, or our healthful food. What is for certain is this undeniable fact: our programs work. If your goal is to lose weight, become more toned, start living a more healthy lifestyle, then welcome to The Hill Country Health & Fitness Center, the most compatible and effective place to achieve every one of those worthy objectives.
Best of all, our beautiful Hill Country setting, healthy living environment and wide selection of Dude Ranch activities all combine to make it far more likely that you will achieve the success you deserve in reaching your goals during your visit here and, more importantly, every day of your life back home.
Nothing makes us feel better than hearing a guest say "I've never felt better!"
People often tell us how lucky we are to live and work in such a remarkably beautiful setting. We couldn't agree more. Except for this point: the most wonderful aspect of being here is knowing that we're helping people to truly change their lives for the better.
And we help them do that in an atmosphere not of intimidation or deprivation, but just the opposite — for The Hill Country Health & Fitness Center is a very nurturing place, thanks to our concerned, caring and Texas-friendly staff, our wide open skies and endless vistas, and, perhaps most important of all, our commitment to make your visit a highlight in your life, and in ours.
Small wonder then that we receive the testimonials you see here. And we hope that someday soon, you'll be writing one, too.
Testimonials
"It was so invigorating. I hiked, jogged, kickboxed, lifted weights, rode horses, did water aerobics, tubed in the river and more. What a great action packed week. I slept like a baby too. I'm almost 50 and I feel more fit and tight than ever before and I had a fantastic time. This really prepared me for the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk." Denise
"My body changed dramatically. I now have more muscle tone and definition than I've ever had. But the best part is that I had a blast doing it." Melissa
"I still regularly regale people with my ranching stories-many happy memories. Being on the ranch with you all made me realize how much I love to learn new things.” Roz
" How I wish we were still there with you! We had a fabulous time. Being out at Rancho Cortez really made me rethink a lot of things. Life is very precious and if we all continue to run through it we will never take the time to appreciate the everyday beauty around us." Mandy
"You know-there are very few places in the world that can nurture the spirit and the soul. I want you to know that your place, this ranch, your family is one of those distinct, intimate and nurturing homes! Thank you for all that you have given so lovingly and willingly. Only special people can do that!!" Victoria
"Thank you. I am doing great. Everyday I see at least one person who doesn't recognize me. I just tell everyone I am Rick's twin cousin from Bandera, Texas. I am down to 214 now. I see my trainer 3 times a week, walk 4 to 8 miles each day, and do a spin class every other day. I am working out more than working. That's a good thing. I really miss you all. Thank you." Rick
"I've bought some books, read them daily, and have started small changes in the kitchen and in what I cook. Slowly things are changing and I owe lots of it to your ranch, where I got my Kick Start.Daily, you are in my thoughts. When I question my actions, I think "What would Mary say about this?" I am so grateful for your tremendous support and kindnesses to me during my stay.So here I am, healthier, slowly turning my life around, about to start a fabulous job (with a strong probability of being uninterruptedly employed until my retirement - 7 more years) and about to jump into a solid gym routine as part of my weekly routine. What a change - I also don't recognize myself. Thank you." Joyce
"I have been so hyped up since arriving at home. I went to the grocery store and spent 3 hours reading labels and finding the healthy choices. I felt as if I was starting from scratch....I spent wayyyyyyy too much money.....the cost of staying healthy. When I got home I literally cleaned out my refrigator and pantry, reorganized the pantry.....my kitchen is looking like I cook good, healthy meals. Now....I just need to plan Monday's meals....and then a week in advance. I am so excited about trying out some of your recipes.....!" Darlene
