01 / THE OPERATING REALITY
Your business has
its own moving parts.
Gyms, boutique fitness studios, Pilates and yoga studios, wellness centers and membership-based activity businesses.
01
Memberships & demand
Connect new members, cancellations, recurring fees, class packs and drop-in visits. Keep recurring revenue and attendance assumptions consistent.
02
Class & facility capacity
Build the schedule around equipment, spaces, instructors and realistic attendance. Reflect differences between peak and off-peak demand.
03
Opening & retention
Connect fit-out, equipment, pre-sales and the membership ramp to cash requirements. Test the effect of slower acquisition or higher cancellations.
WHAT THE FINANCIAL WORK MAKES VISIBLE
The operating detail.
The decisions it supports.
Separate memberships, classes and appointments when they use capacity or generate receipts differently. Retention, attendance, instructor schedules and opening investment shape the operating plan.
| What to track | What the model connects | What it helps you understand |
|---|---|---|
| Active memberships | Opening members, sign-ups, cancellations, freezes and membership tiers. | How acquisition and retention combine to build the recurring customer base. |
| Revenue by offer | Membership fees, class packs, appointments, retail sales and discounts. | The income generated by the mix of recurring and occasional purchases. |
| Capacity and service contribution | Class places, appointment slots, attendance, instructor hours and direct costs. | How the timetable and customer usage affect delivery resources and margin. |
| Location cash requirement | Fit-out, equipment, deposits, pre-sales, payroll and the membership ramp. | The funds needed to open and support the location while activity builds. |
QUESTIONS I CAN HELP YOU TEST
How would your plan change?
Choose the uncertainties that matter to your business. I can connect alternative assumptions to the forecast and explain the differences in the plan or presentation.
Peak classes fill up
Test timetable changes, instructor costs and additional capacity before assuming that more demand always produces more saleable sessions.
The offer mix changes
Compare memberships, class packs and appointments with their own pricing, usage and delivery requirements.
