Critique this regiment for training average people at the condo

Hey 'Bama, I didn't want to hijack the neck machine thread so i started a new thread. The condo weight room has dumbbells that go up to 70lbs, 2 benches, several Vector weight machines, 2 treadmills, 1 exercise bike, and 2 mats. I train 2 people at once and when i get to the weight cricuit part of the routine i put one person on the treadmill for a few minutes and then switch. This is a 2x/week routine.

1-warm-ups 10 minutes
-various isometric movements and rotating rotatable body parts
-I include "pre-hab" movements which i mix up from time to time such as
-standing next to a wall and pushing against it at different levels/angles (rotator cuff)
-step downs from a very small height (knee)
-levering stuff with a stick (elbows)
-on all rotating movements with leg i don't allow them to hold onto anything but make'em struggle with their balance (knee/ankle stability)

2-One posterior chain "power move" if they are relativley young and in ok shape (if not i skip this step for now)
-db hang cleans for males (most wiehgt used so far 25lbs) or
-BW squats powerlifting style or OHS (i just have'em hold their fists up) for both genders (noone has graduated to using weights yet)
-DB dimmel deadlifts or
-DB deadlifts
I have'em do 2-3 sets of one of these

3-Mat work
-I usually pick 3 or 4 of the following and do these in a circuit (depending on who i'm training and what exercises i did before and what exercises are coming)
-bridges, crunches, baby pelvic leg raises (legs do not extend out), BW hip adductor/abductor, glute blasters, planks, negative push-ups

4-weight circuit 1 set of each no/little rest between sets, 4-6 exercises could include
-leg press, lat pull down, bench machine, weighted core exercise, tate press, curls of some kind
-i do these relatively slow and controlled/bodybuilder style

5-tabbatta squat session or tabbatta swing session depending on previous exercises
-2 to 4 minutes
People are shocked by how much this kicks their ass and sometimes if they are older i won't let them max out for a few sesssions (i'll tell'em to get say 4- 8/20 sec and then next session 5-9/20 etc...)

6-static stretching 3-5 stretches
-focus on hip/leg flexibility especially cause i'm prepping them for future postreior chain shit

work-out time:40-55 minutes

I am having decent results and am getting good feedback with this plan. No injuries or people dropping dead so far *knocks on compressed cardboard desk that looks like wood*

looks like you have a good plan going, i don't think i have seen tate presses and bench machine in the same line here though. I am guessing that their goals are "to get in better shape".

Cpl of things

1.) Pushing against the wall isn't really a good rotator cuff exercise

2.) What do you mean by leveling things with a broom?

3.) Hang Clean with a dumbbell, good idea with the younger folk, bad idea with the older folks.

4.) Have them do regular squats, then graduate to OHS
