From the reviews
They have bus tours for senior citizens. On this particular occasion we went to Clearwater Beach. It was a good outing out.
I took a part of a tai chi class here. It was very good, the teacher was good and careful to help beginning students. But except for one friendly lady, I felt unwelcome with some of the others with my walker and my inability to stand up and all so I just gave up coming.
The Rigsby Center is a great asset for Safety Harbor. Inexpensive fitness classes and other activities are provided by the city. I recommend B-Fit Boot Camp on Tuesday evenings for a fun workout.
Although you must go during business hours to rent the hall, they were a pleasure to work with! Everyone was VERY nice! The facility was clean. I would definitely go back here next time I need to rent a space.
Your first tai chi class at Rigsby Recreation 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.
