If your focus is fitness, the Hill Country Health and Fitness Center at Rancho Cortez is just for you. Get energized with guided hikes, water aerobics, and classes with trained instructors in the fully-appointed, air-conditioned gym. Additional nutrition and health classes may also be available during your stay. Our ranch chef prepares special fitness cuisine meals as well, to help you reach your fitness goals.
Our Dude Ranch guests and Fitness Ranch guests enjoy our covered deck and outdoor hot tub and two great pools -- one outdoor and one indoor (heated in the fall and winter months!). Meandering walkways, benches, swings, and secluded porches also give you ample opportunity to relax in the beautiful Hill Country surroundings at the ranch. You can also unwind in the air-conditioned ranch lodge, complete with books, TV, and games.
