RPM is a "canned" program, where instructors have to use the music and routines that are given to them. It takes the individuality out of indoor cycling. They tried it at my last gym, and it caused an uproar. It was thrown out after a very short time. My personal take is that gyms mandate this, to avoid instructors doing any "contraindicated" movements, as well as to even the playing field between instructors.
I would look for another gym, or get a trainer for your bike and work out at home.

Yes I know with RPM they have to play music that they have been told to play. I think it gets changed every 3 months. I used to like RPM. The music used to be really good and even though it was the same tracks over and over I still enjoyed it but then they changed the music and the next time I went they changed the instructor and I dont find him to be very good! I have thought about changing gyms but its finding a gym to my taste, I want a gym with a spa. I am thinking of going to rpm on a different day when there might be a different instructor. I think it all depends on the instructor.
