Honest question:

I live in a small apartment, is another issue not smell?

i.e, the room with gym equipment may begin to smell of sweat?

Not it won't, your SO will notice the smell after a session, but with proper ventilation it will be quickly gone.

But the coating of the weight may smell very bad, it depends on the material :

un-coated plates won't smell, but will make lot of noise when stacked together and will easily put a dent in a wooden floor

rubber coated plates are silent, but will smell horrible for months, depending on the storage where you brought it, I had to clean mine 3 times with lots of recipes, and put it on the balcony for weeks, and even now I still notice a smell in the room.

I would go for urethane plates, won't smell and are silent.
