Adapting to a class does not mean changing your entire plan or making it “easier.”
It means making the experience accessible, so every rider can rise to what you designed.

You may need to cue at a different level.
You may need to break down complicated choreography.
You may need to build things more gradually.

No matter what room you have, we want you to teach a class you love.
But your job is to bring people with you.

You never want to be the only one doing the choreography you are cueing.

You can’t just do it.
The point is to get everyone to do it, together.

You won’t build a following if you aren’t bringing people with you.

KNOW THE ROOM

Review your roster before every class, especially when you’re new.

Over time, you’ll learn each rider’s level. That helps you choose the right BPM range, choreography complexity, and intensity arc.

If you’re riding with a room you don’t know, start at the lower end of your BPM range and build upward as you feel the room settle in.

As you grow, you’ll develop instincts that allow you to amplify or simplify in the moment—without being caught off guard.

CREATE EMOTIONAL SAFETY

People adapt best when they feel safe.

In FRXNT ROW, there is:

  • no pressure to keep up

  • no shame around sitting or slowing down

  • no comparison culture

When people feel safe, they push themselves naturally.

Use inclusive language

  • “If you’re ready…”

  • “When you feel the beat…”

  • “If this is yours today…”

This invites effort without forcing performance.

COACH TECHNIQUE FIRST

Proper technique makes intensity adjustable.

When form is strong:

  • advanced riders can add power

  • beginners can stay safe

  • the room can stay together

Examples:

  • “Relax the shoulders.”

  • “Hips back.”

  • “Drive through the heels.”

Technique is what allows everyone to ride the same class—at their level.

CELEBRATE EFFORT

Acknowledge effort across the room—especially newer riders.

When beginners feel seen and successful, they come back.
When advanced riders feel challenged, they stay loyal.

FRXNT ROW is built on both.

OFFER OPTIONS (WITHOUT LABELING THEM MODIFICATIONS)

Frame choices as equal paths, not “easy vs hard.”

Example:

  • “If you’re building speed, stay seated and hold the pace before you rise.”

This keeps riders included without separating the room.

ANCHOR INTENSITY TO EFFORT

Use Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to unify the room across fitness levels.

Examples:

  • “You should not be able to speak right now.”

  • “This should feel like the heaviest gear you’ve had all class.”

  • “This should feel like an 8 out of 10.”

This allows every rider to be in the same moment—even if their resistance or speed looks different.

THE STANDARD

Adaptation is leadership.

It’s not changing your class to match the room.
It’s coaching the room so they can rise to your class.

Everyone rides together.
