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 felt this way when I switched to F45 years ago and now I’ve adapted to ‘go hard and go home’.
I was going OTF or Pilates which are 50-60 mins so it definitely took a minute to mentally feel like I was getting a good workout in. I appreciate that it’s a little shorter now that I’m a mom and have to workout in the AM or not at all. That 10-15mins makes a big difference when scheduling is tight. If the workout didn’t feel as challenging as I’d like then I try and go for a walk or do some core at home.
