We believe in movement. The training we do within our walls makes us better equipped for life outside. Challenges, setbacks, and everything else that comes with being human become a little easier to bear when the body is strong and gets to move. Right now, perhaps more than ever, society needs to be filled with people who feel good. For the ripples on the water to spread further, we need to lower the barriers and make training more accessible.
That's where STC comes in. Together, we'll improve public health, one step and one push-up at a time, and lead more people to a place where they can become a better version of themselves.
We're continuously recruiting experienced and licensed PTs to our gyms in Gothenburg. At STC, you'll get an environment built for you to focus on what you do best.
You'll have access to our gyms and members, individual coaching to continue developing as a PT, and a bonus model that rewards your results. We're also continuing to grow and open more gyms, which creates new opportunities for you if you want to develop with us.
Here's what your day looks like
A typical day is ruled by your clients' schedules, not your own. You arrive in plenty of time before a session, have prepared the plan, know what to focus on, and what you need to adjust. The next few minutes matter for the person who finally took the step to book their first appointment, for the one who's been struggling with the same movement for three weeks, and for the one who has a goal that feels impossible but that you know is within reach.
You're a key person in your clients' lives, not just in their training. You see it in how they stand a little straighter after a few months, how they talk about training differently, how they start coming to the gym even on days they haven't booked time with you. That's what you build—a relationship and a habit that lasts.
In practice, you combine the roles of trainer, coach, and salesperson. You deliver individual sessions with high quality, follow up on results, and adjust the plan based on each client's needs and progress. You actively build your own client base, market your services, and collaborate with gym managers and colleagues so more members find you as their PT. You participate in events and trial sessions and are a natural ambassador for the culture we want at the gym. Work hours are on your clients' terms; evenings and weekends are part of the routine.
Who you are
You're the kind of person who notices when a client seems to be having a tough day and knows whether you should push or hold back. You read people and adapt without losing direction in the session. You understand that your job doesn't end when the hour is over—that it's in the follow-up, in the small message, and in the consistency that real change actually happens.
You're curious about training as a craft. New methods, new research, new ways to get a person moving better and feeling stronger. You see your responsibility as bigger than the individual session and understand that success is when the client comes back, and when they start coming to the gym even on days they haven't booked time with you.
To apply, you must be at least 18 years old and speak and write fluent Swedish and/or English. If you have experience as a personal trainer, you must also be licensed.
What awaits you
Imagine it's been a year. A client who came in uncertain and hesitant now trains three times a week and has started recommending you to their friends. You have a well-built client base, have perhaps specialized in an area you're passionate about, and maybe you're the one who onboards new PTs when they start. Or you've taken a step toward leadership in training operations. The opportunity is there—it's up to you how far you want to go.
