This thought occurs to me every time I’m on a plane and airline attendants make their rounds: Does anyone actually like pretzels? Why does every airline, and every random corporate social event, offer them? To me, pretzels are the most thankless food ever.

I guess they’ve got redeeming value as a low-fat snack. They’re salty and crunchy. But I have seriously never liked pretzels. Despite the aforementioned characteristics, I always find them to be dry, bland, and never quite as good as I want them to be. Even the big soft ones right out of the oven don’t really do it for me. The only time I ever appreciated a pretzel was after running my first half-marathon (#humblebrag) when I was literally so calorie-starved I would have eaten cardboard. Or, in this case, something that tasted like cardboard with some salt crystals on it.

Anyway, I mentioned this to my editor here at Kitchn, and as a result, was challenged to keep trying pretzel varietals until I found some that don’t feel like punishment. Shockingly, I did! Here are the surprisingly delicious results of my taste tests.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

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.
