With busy schedules and quick workouts becoming more popular in the U.S., how long should a gym session actually be?
Some train for 2+ hours, others finish in under an hour what’s the real sweet spot for results?

Honestly bro, 45–60 mins is enough if you’re focused. No need to live in the gym

Yeah man, most people wasting time scrolling between sets. Tight 1 hour hits better than 2 lazy ones.

Depends on goals tho… strength days can go longer, but still don’t need 2+ hours.

I switched to shorter workouts and saw better results, less burnout too.

That’s what I’ve been thinking too… quality over just being there longer, right?

HIIT and quick lifting combos are clutch now. In and out, still get a solid pump.
