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
The Mission
My mission is simple: help every person unlock their full potential by bridging the gap between healing and peak performance. Everyone deserves care that’s focused on them, not limited by insurance restrictions.
Exercise Science — Minnesota State University Moorhead
A bachelor’s in Exercise Science with a minor in Strength & Conditioning, earned while playing three years of collegiate football. Training came first, clinical practice came second — which is why the rehab here is written by someone who understands a barbell, not just a goniometer.
Doctorate of Physical Therapy — University of Jamestown
The doctorate is what turns that training background into treatment. Combining personal training expertise with doctorate-level physical therapy is the whole approach: the same person who diagnoses the problem is the person who builds the program that fixes it.
Our Foundation
Core Pillars
Five principles that define how we operate and what sets us apart.
-
1-on-1 Expert Care
Full 60-minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and the same therapist every visit. No assistants, no distractions. Just personalized expert care focused entirely on your goals.
Your time. Your goals.
-
Performance-Driven Rehab
We don’t just get you back to baseline — we make you stronger. Every treatment combines rehab with performance optimization.
Better than before.
-
No Insurance Games
Freedom from insurance limitations means care you actually need, not what insurance dictates. Transparent pricing, no surprises.
Your health, not their rules.
-
Education > Prescription
We teach you why pain exists and how to prevent it returning. Understanding empowers you to control your health long-term.
Knowledge is medicine.
-
Honest, Complete Care
We tell you exactly what’s wrong, how long it takes, and what it costs. No false promises. Just honest communication and comprehensive care.
Truth builds trust.
These aren’t just words — they’re promises we keep with every client, every session, every day.
This is healthcare as it should be.
