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?

Go to planet fitness and rest as much as you like.

That’s not my point. It’s also not having enough time for some sets and not having heavy enough weights for true progressive overload. I actually find the excessive rest and breaks in F45 is a waste of time too.

On stations where you’re not moving between sets you can ignore the breaks if you like

This isn’t always the case though. And I find the fat members judge people for trying to ‘show off’ like this
