  • Strength Training
  • Circuit training
  • Core Strength
  • Abs
  • Stretching

Fuel your Body

Nutrition is such an important part of a healthy lifestyle. It’s sometimes difficult to maintain the proper balance with the hectic days most of us have. However it’s not impossible to have healthy options even at home given some structured ideas.

Eating “healthy” food is only part of the equation for overall health. Portion control has to be maintained. We bring these concepts of nutritious food in proper portion size to our guests with meals prepared under the guidance of a registered dietician, some cooking demos offered, and some of our classic recipes designed to allow you to take information home with you.

Everything at Rancho Cortez is done with the goal of improving your health here and when you leave. We have fresh vegetables from our own garden, (depending on the season) and the freshest fruits and vegetables from local grocers. The emphasis is on REAL food, prepared with healthy ingredients, and presented in proper portion sizes.


De-Stress your Body

At the end of the day, we encourage our guests to balance their hard work by relaxing and recovering using our facilities and the natural surroundings. You can lounge by our outdoor pool and hot tub, indulge in an on-site massage, or simply wind down in the private Fitness Lounge.

Alternatively, you can explore some of the area scenery with the adjoining Hill Country State Natural Area, water levels permitting you can float the Medina River, or take a quick trip into Bandera, San Antonio, or other Texas Hill Country towns. Rewarding yourself with positive experiences is the best way to motivate you to get back into a physical rhythm the next day.

We believe that the best results will be achieved if you’re having fun while exercising and working hard, so we maintain an entertaining environment and encourage participants to enjoy the ranch and its surroundings.

Many of our activities are designed to keep you as engaged emotionally and mentally as they are physically, from one-on-one fitness training, to helping prep meals, to horseback riding. Moreover, the ranch and the surrounding Texas countryside are the best-possible places to relax and appreciate the hard work and results that you expect.
