Terra-Core Fitness Board Update | Shark Tank Season 11
Home gym equipment can get out of hand quickly. You’ll need room, plenty of money, and expertise on how to use all of the machines. That problem prompted Greg Nigro to create Terra-Core: a small, air-filled surface that can be used for hundreds of workouts. Will the sharks sweat to make a deal on this device during

Greg brought Terra-Core to
Terra-Core is one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment you can own. Every exercise you do is enhanced to the next level
He peers deep into his crystal ball, revealing that the future of fitness is always changing. He believes that Terra-Core, his versatile workout surface board, is the next big thing.
The air-filled surface activates four times the muscle tissue for each and every workout and only takes up three square feet in your exercise space. Further, it’s great for both commercial and consumer home gyms.
Greg brings some people with him to demonstrate the workout equipment, before the sharks give it a try for themselves. He finally invites all the sharks to try it out, and they all take a turn with it.
Guest shark Anne Wojcicki, founder of 23 and Me, comments that the board is very comfortable to use. At this point, most of the sharks are interested.
However, they’re more impressed by the numbers. Terra-Core raised $95,000 on Kickstarter and has sold $2.1 million since its launch (two years before filming).
Right now, it’s selling mostly on the commercial market, and Greg is lowering the costs to $199, making it more attractive for consumers. However, it costs $73 to manufacture it internationally.
Additionally, he’s also making great profit margins and projects about $1.4 million in sales next year.
Daymond John is the first to make an offer, which is $300,000 for 40% equity—a pretty sharky deal.
Kevin O’Leary is next to offer, speaking over Lori Greiner, to promise $300,000 for 15% equity, plus $20 per unit royalty until he earns $1 million back. Greg doesn’t accept either of these deals yet.
Daymond drops his equity offer to 35% for the same $300,000, which prompts Lori to make an offer of $300,000 for 22.5% equity. Then, Daymond lowers his offer to 30% equity.
Anne adds another offer to the pile. She offers $300,000 for 17% equity, plus a $10/unit royalty in perpetuity.
However, Greg doesn’t like the royalty offers and since every shark is in a bidding war for this deal he sticks with his gut. After some deliberations, he finally decides to go with Lori’s offer.
