No BARBELL/WEIGHT dropping
If you are doing deadlifts or any kind of exercise please where weights are touching the ground (e.g. hip thrust) put black or blue pads underneath the weights and lower down the weights gently. Don't bounce weight of the ground or similar. There should be no impact with the ground even with mats underneath. See images below.
If you are going to be doing deadlifts, you can start with bar positioned on safety arms of the squat rack as opposed to the ground, however, even then please ensure to re-rack bar gently to minimize any floor vibrations. 
DON'T DROP DUMBBELLS
Don't drop dumbbells. Please put dumbbells gently and softly to the ground or on top of the bench.
If you are doing dumbbell bench press, please do either of the following:
Please use this technique - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrnmAksKYog Dropping dumbbells will cause excessive floor vibrations and is not allowed.

Avoid drop jumps (jumping from a box or bench on to the ground) RE-RACK BAR GENTLY
When doing barbell squats, bench press or similar exercises, please rerack the bar gently to minimize impact and floor vibrations.
CABLE MACHINES - LOWER DOWN WEIGHT STACKS
SLOWLY/GENTLY When using cable machines, please lower down the weight stack gently to minimize clanking/noise, as well as floor vibrations. If the weight is not lowered genltly, it will cause excessive noise and the sound alarm will beep for a few seconds.
DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS TECHNIQUE - DON'T
DROP DUMBBELLS When doing dumbbell bench press, please use the following technique - watch the video. Don't lower down dumbbells from the lying position, but put dumbbells back on your knees/thighs, stand up and lower them gently on to the bench as shown in the video.
NOISE MEASURING DEVICE
Inside the space we have a noise measuring device that gives us real time feedback on the noise levels. In case the noise threshold has been reached and crossed, the device will start beeping and the value will be shown with flashing numbers. Please be mindful not to cross this noise threshold.
1) Normal conversation is up to 80 db - this is fine. 2) Don't play music louder than 70 dB. So try to keep music in 60s dB. 3) When using cable machine, please lower down weight stack gently to minimize clanking and noise. This one is especially important. If the noise get's too loud the sound measuring device will beep. Most often the cable machine will cause the noise to spike and trigger the beeping alarm. Please ensure to lower down the weights gently to reduce the noise and not trigger the sound alarm from the sounds measuring device - this is important.

Adjustable dumbbells - HOW TO SELECT WEIGHT
DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS TECHNIQUE
Please don't drop dumbells, even from a low height. When doing dumbbell bench press, please use the following technique when putting dumbbells down on to the bench. If putting them down to the ground do so gently to minimize any impact with the ground or better yet, put them down gently on top of the blue or black mat.
Hip thrust setup
Please put mats underneath the weights to minimize ground impact and floor vibrations. Or use hip thrust machine we have inside the space and re-rack weights gently.
SUGGESTED LAT PULLDOWN SETUP
Use wooden box with or without the blue pad to sit. Pull the sliding bar over your thighs so you are stabilized in place and not being pulled up by weight. Use chains to adjust height of the bar setup.
LEG EXTENSION/LEG CURL MACHINE
Adjust seat height to make the most out of leg curls and leg extensions. The seat has three different height options:
For leg curls, set seat height to medium height setting. For leg extensions, put seat on the highest setting. If your feet are touching the floor when doing leg extensions, you can put blue mat underneath your thighs to increase height. 
CAN ADJUSTABLE DUMBBELLS BE DROPPED?
No. Adjustable dumbbells cannot be droppped. They have a fragile weight changing/dial mechanism and thus are very sensitive to any kind of force. Please be extra gentle and careful when putting them down. This even means not dropping dumbbells from the lying or seated position on a bench like you normally encounter when doing dumbbell presses. Check out the video below to see the proper form when handling adjustable dumbbell for the dumbbell chest and dumbbell shoulder presses:
PUTTING WEIGHT PLATES BACK?
Once you are done using weight plates, put them back to their original place as shown in the photo below:
