Dr. Peter Rawlek
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Peter Rawlek is the CEO of and visionary behind GoGet.Fit. This vision grew out of his response to the burden of lifestyle-modifiable diseases that he sees patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system endure every day. Peter’s keen awareness and wealth of analytical skills stem from a career of more than 20 years in critical/trauma medicine.
Alongside two decades of experience as an emergency room physician, Peter has worked as a Trauma Team Leader at the University of Alberta, STARS flight physician, and rural medical director for STARS, allowing him to foster a province-wide network of contacts in primary and specialist medicine. On his entrepreneurial side, Dr. Rawlek is the founder and owner of the Mountain Munchkin Daycare project in Canmore, Alberta - a social enterprise that focuses on developing core competencies in children by creating an educational and inclusive environment.
Peter knows health and wellness for people of all ages and walks of life, ranging from infants to athletes. In his younger years, he was a member of the Canadian national badminton team; these days you can find him on the snow as a master’s athlete in nordic ski racing, a sport in which he has made the top ten in world championships and placed on the podium in Canadian Nationals.
Peter’s vision for social change is bolstered by years of managing medical teams, having the work ethic of a national athlete, and an acute awareness of what people need in order to take control of their health. In keeping with his core values, GoGetFit runs as an open-team concept, where all at the table have an equal voice.
