Facteurs de risque

• GDP/capita of $1,830 may cap discretionary spending and limit upper-end pricing versus the $43,200 revenue ceiling
• Competitive pressure from 3 nearby gyms could compress margins and slow member growth, threatening the 3–5 month break-even
• Revenue variability ($25,200–$43,200) could widen if class capacity utilization is inconsistent, impacting the $11,144–$24,104 profit range
• Operational costs (coaches, programming, equipment wear) could outpace projections and extend time to break-even beyond 5 months

Plan d’exécution

1. Secure a central Yaoundé location with easy access for commuters and families, prioritizing parking and safe facility layout
2. Launch with tiered memberships (intro, monthly, premium) and a strong onboarding funnel (free assessment week, 14-day challenge)
3. Build a class schedule that maximizes capacity (beginner-to-advanced tracks) and targets high weekly attendance within the first 90 days
4. Differentiate programming with “Box-ready” CrossFit cycles (skills + metcons + strength) and publish weekly results to attract local SEO traffic
5. Implement retention levers: member progress tracking, regular community events, and coach-led check-ins to stabilize monthly revenue
6. Control costs tightly through equipment maintenance plans, local sourcing where feasible, and staffing aligned to peak class times
