Testimonials
"I have a testimonial I would like to share-In June of last year (2008), I was at my lowest point, I could not walk up the stair without feeling "winded" so I knew something had to be done if I wanted to be healthy again. I started walking and playing golf, it helped-but not enough. As fate would have it, while deciding what to do with the few days before school started I found the rancho cortez website. I thought, well it might work. I learned so much during my short time there. The time at RC has given me direction and motivation. Since August I have lost over 60 pounds. I would recommend Rancho Cortez. The staff there is amazing and they care about not only helping you lose weight, but your well-being. I plan on coming back in the summer." Anthony Y.
"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.....!"
