Life Time has opened a Texas-sized fitness club in McKinney, marking the company’s eleventh location in Dallas-Fort Worth and its 29th in Texas.
Life Time McKinney Craig Ranch is located near the PGA TPC Craig Ranch Golf Course in the former Craig Ranch Fitness & Spa, which the company purchased in late 2021. The facility underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation.
Minnesota-based Life Time — known as Life Time Fitness until 2017, when it streamlined its name — operates nearly 160 “athletic country clubs” across the U.S. and Canada.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring our Life Time lifestyle to McKinney and the Craig Ranch area,” Jeff Zwiefel, Life Time president and chief operating officer, said in a statement. “We have an incredible team ready and dedicated to helping members achieve their health, wellness, entertainment and recreation goals in a luxurious environment that offers something for everyone.”
