Just because you offered an option at the beginning of class doesn’t mean that option fits the same way 20 minutes later.
As bodies fatigue.
As effort increases.
As nervous systems get louder.
Needs change.
Maybe everyone felt fine coming to their knees in the warm up.
That does not mean those same bodies feel good about it in the third round.
And assuming that because someone did it once they can always do it, creates pressure.
As coaches, we need to keep giving options and permission.
Over and over again.
To change your mind.
To adjust.
To opt out.
To try something else.
Fitness isn’t about proving you can tolerate discomfort. It’s about learning how to listen to your body’s needs.
The most inclusive rooms are the ones where choice isn’t a one-time offer at the start of class, it’s a constant invitation throughout.
