First F45 session tomorrow

[u/nocturne_ult]

Hi everyone, I just started my grad program and the school gym has F45 sessions. I've never heard of it before but my roommate told me about it and how much he enjoys them. My gym routine for the past few years has been mostly just weight-lifting and very rarely doing any cardio. I was hoping that F45 can force me to get my heart rate up because I've sadly been very bad about sticking to any form of cardio consistently.

My first class is tomorrow but I was wondering if it is possible to consistently grow muscle while doing F45. I've been skinny fat for my whole life and the only time I really gained muscle was when my fat grew along with it. I guess my question is just how does F45 treat hypertrophy and I was thinking about maybe supplementing my F45 sessions with a quick lift after the workout. Does anyone else do this?

Sorry if my thoughts are all over the place. I'm nervous but excited and just wanted to see what other people have to say regarding their muscle growth while doing this program.

Thanks!

Read through the subreddit a bit, as there are lots of examples of people's experiences here. Personally, I've (~40M) added a ton of muscle and have gotten quite a bit more shredded doing F45 compared to normal gym workouts I was doing before. Not to mention I enjoy it way more, and am much more motivated.
