EXAM PERIOD – PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF NOISE

During the exam period, students are sitting exams in the hall next to the gym and can hear every bang, thud and crash coming from the fitness floor.

When you’re training with headphones in, it’s easy not to realise how much noise is being created when dumbbells are dropped, weight stacks are slammed, or bars are thrown down after a set. What might feel normal in the gym can be incredibly distracting for someone trying to concentrate in an exam.

We’re asking everyone to show consideration and control whilst training:

Lower dumbbells under control
Guide bars back down instead of dropping them
Avoid slamming weight stacks between reps
Re-rack equipment carefully and quietly

Real strength isn’t just lifting heavy, it’s controlling the weight from start to finish.

Thank you for helping us create a respectful environment for everyone during exam season.
