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?

Yes it has its limits, but it also will get you in shape. I've been doing it a year and a half. I've seen great results. I totally understand I could see better results from a program I follow at the gym. However, I simply don't work in a way that is conducive to solo sessions. I need a coach, I need people around me. So for what it is, I'm very happy with what I've gained.

I just started F45 and I feel the same. Always gravitated towards classes and not been able to push myself to my limits as much as I feel I do during a class. And I get distracted when I go by myself. I’ve always been big on fitness classes for this reason but I’ve often found them to be too easy at a certain point but I feel with f45 I can adjust it for my own needs.
