A kitchen rail is a super-stylish way to add storage to any kitchen. With roots in commercial and restaurant kitchens, this versatile tool is really limitless, as you can add on S-hooks for utensils or pots and pans, holsters for cutlery, mini shelves, and more. And IKEA’s GRUNDTAL rail system is one of the most versatile and affordable ones out there, available in classic stainless steel with a number of accessories to match.

The trickiest thing about installing the rail is not the rail itself, but being sure you have the right screws and hardware to get the rail into your backsplash or other surface. If you’re mounting it onto regular ol’ dry wall, you can just follow the directions from IKEA (although we suggest adding anchors!). But if you’re mounting it on ceramic tile, the most common backsplash, you need to be more careful.

Before starting this project, be sure you know that the tile is indeed ceramic, and that there’s drywall behind it. If you’re working with another material or are unsure, consult with your local hardware store for the correct materials. And if you’re in a rental, be sure to check with a landlord before starting the project, as this is a permanent change! Here’s what to do.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
