New Client Intake and Information
If you are interested in getting started with Grit City Health, this page is for you. Most of this information is also spread throughout the website, but I have compiled some important information together to make it easier to get started (or make a decision if GCH is right for you). As always, if you have any questions, please let me know (send an e-mail, text, or give me a call).
Who am I and what is Grit City Health?
Hi! I am Patrick McCabe, the owner of GCH. I am a Pilates teacher, licensed massage therapist, and health coach. I received my first Pilates certification in 2007, and my massage license in 2015. From there, Grit City Health was born combining fitness and massage into goal oriented sessions. I use Pilates based movement as an assessment tool to see how the body is working, and massage as a treatment tool to help the body work more efficiently. Combining movement, treatment, and relaxation techniques allows me to work with your goals in a cooperative manner creating an positive experience and health outcome.

How long is a New Client Intake?
Your initial New Client Intake at Grit City Health is an 80-minute session, during which I block out 90 minutes to ensure we have ample time without feeling rushed. This session typically includes a mix of movement, treatment, and relaxation to give us a comprehensive understanding of your needs. Afterward, I’ll take the time to discuss potential future sessions and how we can best support your goals. You’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your experience and decide if Grit City Health is the right fit for you.
Where is the clinic?
Grit City Health is located at 3624 6th Ave, Suite B, Tacoma, WA, 98406. It is a wonderful space for me to grow my business and even has a recovery room with an infrared sauna for some extra post session relaxation. When you arrive for your session, please just come on in and say hello, or have a seat and I will be with you as soon as I am done with my previous session.
What does it cost?
A New Client Intake at GCH is just $120 +tax. I have online scheduling and payment processing set up, but can accept cash if needed. Also, I don't accept tips so you can budget and pay in advance without stress.

What should you wear and bring?
When coming to Grit City Health, it is recommended to wear something that you can move around comfortably in, like an outfit that you would wear to the gym (shorts/stretchy pants, and an active fitting shirt or tank top). This allows you to move freely through assessment/strengthening exercises and receive treatment in a comfortable environment. Most of the work at Grit City Health is done fully clothed and lying face up. This allows us to move back and forth between movement and treatment if we need to. If there are any hidden bruises/lesions/cuts/scrapes please let me know prior to your session. I also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated.
