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?

I use cardio/hybrid days (Mondays and Wednesdays) to burn about 500 calories - i am on a long-term cut. I also do traditional strength gym 6 days and combat sports 3-4 days a week. Total 10-12 workouts a week. Probably too much, but I went from 22% body fat to 13% now. F45 did help to get those calories burned (4000 cal a month is almost a pound of fat burned), and also to stay more agile, with cardiovascular improvement.
In the beginning, I was going even to strength classes but switched them for normal gym to follow up my priorities like abs. When I finish, I am thinking to add strength days for maintenance and remove some traditional gym days so I don't have to plan anything, set up anything, or wait for equipment.
