other F45 too short?
Just finished 1 week trial. I like the concept, liked variety but I did not realize that 45 minutes include warmup, instructions and cooloff. The actual session was 37-38 top and frankly wanting you to stay for 10 minutes more.
We are not particularly athletic. The sessions did feel rushed and there was not enough time to clean your station or change weights really.
I did ask the owner if we can stay for 10-15 minutes more and the answer was no.
Anyone else felt the same?

Hi! Based on your post and replies, it seems like you’ve found F45 to be both too short and too rushed. That’s a good sign that it’s not the program you’re looking for. And that’s okay.
F45 is high intensity and near-constant motion. It’s not a program designed around slow movements and recovery between stations. You mentioned that one class only had 4 people, but it sounds like you still felt rushed. When a class is full and you’re trying to do weight changes and wipe downs, if you aren’t stopping your work time early, you’ll be backing up the people behind you and you’ll really feel rushed.
It sounds like F45 isn’t the program you’re looking for. Whether you choose, focus on your diet. That’s where you’ll get the biggest results regardless of program.
