Making the most of 60mins x 3 days

Hi all! I've just joined a gym as I just can't manage at-home fitness with my kids (always something "more important" someone needs done). I have exactly an hour, including locker room time, as I use the in-house childcare which allows only 60min bookings. I'm working out 3 times per week and want to make the most of it for continued weightloss and rebuilding flexibility, endurance, and mental health all sapped by a very rough year. While I know something is better than nothing, I'd like opinions on my workout plan, advice for changes, etc. It's a fairly standard gym with all the cardio and weight machines and a fair selection of free weights and "Les Mills" classes.

Tues
55 min BodyBalance (I practiced Vinyasa yoga a lifetime ago and miss it)

Thurs
10 min treadmill hills
1000m rowing, increasing by 250 each week (~10 min)
20 mins weights, 2-3 sets of 10 at highest weight I can manage (machines for now, freeweights after I can afford a few training sessions)
10 min treadmill hills

Rotating Day (depends on work schedule)
Same as Thurs until I feel confident enough to start BodyPump.

I also walk 3km 2-3 days per week taking kids to/from school which, while not seeming a lot, has done tons for my mental wellbeing and general fitness. This will increase to 5x3km/wk in January.

Suggestions for changes to my routine, or ideas for the occasional 4th day, as well as progressions from what I'm already doing would rock. Thanks.
