Matej Varhalik is the CEO and Founder of SpeedFit; a company that he built from scratch, in a foreign country and in a second language. The now Perth-based entrepreneur and father of two, has been steadily growing his group of fitness studios across Australia since he immigrated from Slovakia in 2013.
On his journey, Matej has taken some calculated risks (he famously turned down a million dollar offer on Shark Tank) and has learned from every challenge thrown at him along the way. These traits have enabled him to build a thriving business in the ‘lucky country’, but there’s no slowing down as Matej’s ‘to-do’ list is never finished.
