Our Story

Redefining What Healthcare Should Be

Founded by Dr. Spencer Haag, DPT, Skilled Fitness & Therapy was built on the belief that every person deserves personalized, expert care without the limitations of insurance-driven healthcare.

We created SFT because we saw too many people getting lost in the traditional healthcare system - rushed appointments, cookie-cutter treatments, and results that fell short of potential.

The Journey

Our Story

From watching loved ones struggle with injuries to building a practice that bridges the gap between healing and peak performance.

The Inspiration

A Personal Mission

The dream began long before "Dr." was in Spencer's title. After watching friends and family struggle with injuries that kept them from living life to the fullest, he was inspired to find a better way.

"I saw too many people getting trapped in cycles of pain, limited by traditional healthcare that offered temporary fixes instead of lasting solutions."
Building Expertise

Personal Training Foundation

Spencer started with an extensive background in personal training, learning firsthand how movement, strength, and conditioning could transform lives.

Education: Bachelor's in Exercise Science with Minor in Strength & Conditioning from Minnesota State University Moorhead
Advanced Training

Becoming Dr. Spencer Haag

Driven to understand the science behind movement and healing, Spencer pursued his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Jamestown.

Specialized certifications in Cupping Therapy and Muscle Scraping Techniques to provide comprehensive care options.

Skilled Fitness & Therapy is Born
