I’m am amazed at all things Gulfport Senior Center has to offer! I go M-F to eat a free meal. I have met a lot of people and have made some good friends. The Neighborly program there is amazing! All the staff and volunteers are friendly and very helpful! Love this place!

★★★★★ — Tracy, Jun 2024

They have a lot of great classes, special events and extra activities like parasailing! It is not your grandma's senior center! And it is free for Gulfport residents and only $50 for nonresidents. The building itself is in need of a rebuild, which is going to start happening very soon!

★★★★☆ — Joanne, Aug 2022

Best Senior Center I have ever visited. Numerous activities without a charge, newly remodeled fitness center, a food pantry for those in need, very pleasant staff, plenty of parking, handicap accessible and just overall inviting atmosphere.

Your first tai chi class at Gulfport Senior Center

Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
