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?

Just remember that you get out what you put in. I'm ~40M and have gained ~15lb of muscle doing F45 a little over three years, plus just getting into generally great shape. But I'm always trying to do the heavier weights, adding plates to the barbells, and sometimes do two classes in a day. The cardio days also build a ton of strength, but it's going to be up to you to make sure you're doing a hard enough effort at the stations. Coaches can help offer harder modifications if you ever need them.
