O2 Fitness – Wake Forest Grove 98

O2 Fitness’s Grove 98 club is a roughly 40,000-square-foot gym on Ligon Mill Road in the northeast quadrant of the Wegmans-anchored center in Wake Forest. It brought the chain back to town after an earlier Wake Forest club, and it offers cardio equipment, free weights, machines and a functional training turf.
