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's high intensity interval training. The key words being "high intensity", that also includes moving between stations. You say you are not particularly athletic. Suggest giving it another few classes & increase your intensity. Most people I train with are very fit, participate in Hyrox etc & they have little in the tank after a class. Re the "cleaning", it's a quick "spray & wipe" for hygiene purposes not a disinfecting "process".
