Gym memberships can get pricey and often require a contract (or require you to jump through hoops to cancel). When it comes to building a home gym, though a more affordable option, you may find yourself running out of space for your growing collection of weights and other equipment.

What if there was one piece of equipment that could be used multiple ways? It turns out there is: The BuildingBlock.
This box started out as a project on IndieGogo and has raised more than $20,000. Its base is a durable plyometrics box—that can be used alone or with attachments—as the foundation for your workout. Custom attachments can then be added, such as a stability pole, elastic bands and harness.
The box includes handles, stackable interlocking points and attachment locking points. It weighs roughly 25 pounds and is filled with high density foam.

The BuildingBlock team—it was designed by a certified personal trainer with input from designers, engineers, personal trainers and physical therapists—has a series of videos on their website showcasing different moves that can be achieved with this one piece of equipment. Not only does that include plyo box step-ups, but also includes push-ups, leg raises, box jumps, box squats, burpees and more.
Made in Milwaukee, you can pre-order The BuildingBlock on IndieGogo with a 35 percent savings. They are creating the mold and will have a firm release date coming soon.
