Facteurs de risque

• Revenue volatility: monthly revenue could swing between $25,200 and $43,200, pressuring cash flow.
• Income concentration risk: profits of $11,144 to $24,104 may be sensitive to class attendance and membership renewals.
• Capex/fit-out recovery timing: break-even in 3 to 5 months assumes steady ramp-up of paid memberships.
• Market affordability risk: with GDP per capita at $1,830, pricing must match purchasing power to sustain demand.

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand in Maroua by running a 2-week free trial across multiple timeslots and tracking conversion to paid plans.
2. Price membership tiers to fit local affordability (e.g., introduce entry-level classes and bundles) while targeting full capacity per coach-hour.
3. Launch with disciplined programming (beginner course + scheduled Open/Gym-access weeks) to drive retention and referrals.
4. Secure partnerships with local employers, schools, and gyms for trial passes and corporate/crew discounts to fill early classes.
5. Hire/train at least one CrossFit-certified lead coach and standardize onboarding to minimize churn in the first 90 days.
6. Set weekly KPIs (new memberships, churn, utilization, average revenue per member) and adjust class sizes within 4 weeks.
