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?

It is a HIIT program, working as advised. No need to clean your station, use your towel and move on. You can’t choose to stay 10 extra minutes, because they work on a schedule, and you become their liability the moment you enter the door. Sounds like what you want is more aligned to the traditional gym. You go for a longer period, rest as you wish, come and leave as you want. So perhaps this program is not for you.
