Gymnastikförbundet

What Gymnastikförbundet does

Svenska Gymnastikförbundet (Gymnastikförbundet) is the official national governing body for gymnastics in Sweden, established in 1904 and headquartered in Stockholm within Idrottens hus. The federation operates under the umbrella of Riksidrottsförbundet (Swedish Sports Confederation) and oversees nine disciplines: artistic gymnastics (women's and men's), rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, team gym, aerobic gymnastics, parkour, tricking, hopprep (jump rope), and paragymnastics. Its primary constituents are member gymnastics clubs, individual gymnasts (recreational through elite), and registered coaches/leaders, with secondary engagement with schools for curriculum support.

The federation runs a federated operating model with eight regional organizations (Norr, Mitt, Uppsvenska, Mellansvenska, Öst, Väst, Sydost, Syd) that deliver direct club services, education, and regional competitions, while the national office in Stockholm coordinates elite programs, national championships, and central governance. Its core digital stack includes Idrottsarenan (a member/club administration platform replacing the legacy IdrottOnline in 2026), the Gymnastikens utbildningsportal on Kunskapsarenan (education/course registration), PEAK i gymnastik (an elite athlete knowledge platform), and Gymnastikshoppen (a webshop operated by Vera Sport). The federation is governed by an elected Förbundsstyrelse led by President Suzanne Lundvall, with Pia Josephson serving as Acting Secretary General.

Revenue is generated through five principal streams: recurring membership fees from clubs and individuals, transaction-based competition and event fees (e.g., SM-veckan, national championships), sponsorship revenues from main partners Craft, Tydliga, and Svedea plus secondary sponsors Unisport, Vera Sport, and Scandic, professional services income from leadership and methodology courses, and merchandise sales via the Vera Sport-operated webshop. Membership and pricing details are not publicly disclosed; revenue figures are not available in the public domain. Distribution is community-led, with regional offices and member clubs serving as the primary channels reaching individual gymnasts.

Core offering

Gymnastikförbundet is the national governing body for gymnastics in Sweden, organizing competitions, providing training and education programs, and supporting affiliated member clubs. The federation delivers standardized coaching certification, injury prevention resources, insurance coverage, and elite athlete development through its PEAK platform. It manages multiple gymnastics disciplines including artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, team gym, aerobic, parkour, tricking, hopprep, and paragymnastics across 8 regional federations.

Product overview

Gymnastikförbundet operates a federation-focused digital ecosystem rather than a unified commercial product. The core digital infrastructure includes Idrottsarenan (a digital platform replacing IdrottOnline in 2026 for member and club administration), Gymnastikens utbildningsportal hosted on Kunskapsarenan (for course registration in leadership and training), and PEAK i gymnastik (an elite knowledge platform). Additional offerings include Gymnastikshoppen (Vera Sport-operated e-commerce for uniforms and profile clothing), Gymnastikens styrelsehandbok (a governance tool for association boards), and various health/medical support materials. The federation also provides insurance solutions through Tydliga, expense claim processing via Cleverservice, and injury registration through AIM Control — though these are administrative tools rather than client-facing product integrations.
