Bettendorf's Newest Fitness Equipment Store Now Open

Bettendorf has a brand new fitness equipment store and as we inch closer to the holiday season, they are already giving back. Wilton-based fitness company, Treadmill Heroes, now has a second location and they have a chance for customers to win big.

On Tuesday a local fitness equipment store announced that after 12 years of servicing the Quad Cities area, Treadmill Heroes has opened a second fitness equipment retail location in Bettendorf just in time for the fall season. The new location opened on July 1st. Treadmill Heroes' home base is located in Wilton.

Treadmill Heroes is a fitness equipment service company that for the last two years has also been selling new and used exercise equipment.

Treadmill Heroes has participated in a variety of events within the community including the QC Marathon, Shine On Quad Cities, the Bettendorf Halloween parade, and other events.

He's gotten his hands dirty and experimented so we don't have to. He has perfected the DIY McRib!
