McKinney posts Apex Centre renovation timeline and program changes

The City of McKinney posted updates for the Apex Centre in early January, laying out a compact schedule of completed work, upcoming renovations and program adjustments that will affect members through spring 2026. The notices, updated Jan. 9 with related calendar entries Jan. 10–11, detail recent lighting work and gym reopening, as well as planned floor, partition and outdoor pool repairs slated through spring 2026.

The most immediate developments are already underway or complete. Lighting upgrades began Jan. 5, and the gymnasium reopened Jan. 10 after that work. The city also published a series of scheduled closures tied to floor and partition renovations and an outdoor pool plaster refresh, with the pool work expected to finish in spring 2026. The overall improvement window is framed as fall 2025 through spring 2026, indicating staggered projects designed to limit extended shutdowns of the entire facility.

Programming changes are tied directly to these construction windows. Notices advise that closures will affect class schedules and other member programs, and they urge Apex members to consult event pages for specific adjustments and reopening dates. The city also listed member-focused programming that will continue to roll out, including the Race to the Peak 30-Day Fitness Challenge beginning Jan. 20, offering a near-term option for members during intermittent facility closures.

Local impact will be practical and immediate for regular users: some classes and rooms will be unavailable at scheduled times, and outdoor pool access will be limited until plaster work concludes. For families who depend on the Apex Centre for swim lessons, lap swims or summer programming planning, the spring 2026 completion target for the pool is a key date to watch. For weekday commuters and evening patrons, the lighting and gym reopenings mean partial restoration of normal operations, but the notices make clear that additional phased work remains.

The city's online calendar entries and the Apex Centre event pages will be the primary sources for day-to-day class changes, reopening notices and sign-up details. Members should check those pages before attending scheduled sessions and plan backups if a favorite class is affected.

Our two cents? Bookmark the Apex Centre event page, set alerts for class changes, and consider the Race to the Peak challenge on Jan. 20 as a way to keep momentum while renovations continue.
