I was so surprised when we arrived at the 'Hills' at how relaxing the resort, with a focus on weight loss and health, could be. We met a bunch of great staff members, all of whom were really friendly and positive, encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle.
The resort was huge, offering pretty much every activity you could want to participate in, like hiking, Pilates and yoga. They also have a pool, gym and personal trainers on site to help everyone achieve their goals. I also liked the fact that the ranch serves as a recreation facility for locals, with a ski hill, terrain park and miles of cross-country and horseback trails.
The owner, Pat, was saying that some visitors stay up to 3 or 4 months to achieve weight loss goals. What a cool experience that would be! There is a large wall located in the center which has pictures of all the successes experienced at the ranch. For someone looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle, this would be a great weeklong vacation!
