  • Use Equipment Properly: Familiarise yourself with how to use equipment correctly to prevent injury and damage.
  • Be Aware of Your Surroundings: When moving with weights or doing dynamic movements, be aware of the people around you.

  • Don’t Hog Equipment: If you’re spending a long time on a machine or piece of equipment, consider switching to something else during peak hours to give others a chance to use it. Share equipment by hopping off during rest periods.
