I'm what "YMCA" - You Might Call Athletic. And so I use a lot of these around the country. And this…read moreis one of the worst I've used. This old YMCA is what "You Might Call Ancient." I didn't have a good time at this YMCA. It makes an effort considering it's a smaller town YMCA, but considering the membership price that I pay and considering that people from Port Arthur are allowed to go wherever they want to and travel anywhere within Texas, I found a kind of ridiculous that I wasn't allowed to use the Port Arthur gym during the pandemic. I can use the Houston ones, but not Port Arthur. Membership prices are no lower though, in fact i'm getting billed when I asked to be on hold. Very annoying too. One of the main reasons I pay the YMCA prices is to be able to visit gyms in other cities. It's less than an hour from where I live. It's closer to my door than some of the Houston area locations, drive time wise. And when I was here, it wasn't a good experience. Some not very friendly associates. In any case, some of the weights are so run down and old that I got a severe injury to my thumb just trying to lift them. That's never happened to me at any gym before. They're clunky and unstable and uneven, and the weight rack is a nightmare. I saw a female employee come around and severely condescend and reprimand several male staff members and also a couple of patrons, and she was loud and nasty. One of them because he wasn't working hard enough, spraying enough, cleaning enough. The spray in my face while on equipment was too far. I'm not sure what the others were doing wrong but it was a little embarrassing. There are various other issues as well such as the shower, slippery floor, treacherous, so very dangerous, things not working properly (especially in the locker rooms and plenty of weight machines), and somebody was checking me out in a creepy way the whole time I was nekky in the shower rooms. Some of the employees are really friendly and others not so much. All in all I definitely would say it is a YMCA that I would avoid in future if possible. Also I called to ask about using the facility and they promised to call back. I was never called back. Instead I got added to their mailing list and now I receive all the promotions. Nah fam. I should give them 1 star but 2 is just for a couple of employees that were okay. And of course this Y is in Port Arthur. Not to be confused with Sport Arthur (which is at the Olympics), Snort Arthur (a cokehead), or Court Arthur (when you are trying to get Arthur to date you).

My wife and I have been attending Traditional Karate Center for over a year and TKC is simply the…read morebest. Sensei Ramon Veras and his team are extremely experienced, encouraging, and treat every student with respect. TKC teaches traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate which is very difficult to find. I feel fortunate that TKC and Sensei Ramon are so great at what they do and that they are so close to where I live. I trained in a different martial arts style some years ago but my experience at Traditional Karate Center has been so much better. Sensei Ramon truly puts quality first. He wants every student to really learn and understand what they are doing. Students advance only when they are ready and when they show proficiency in their skills. As a result, each time you advance a belt level a true sense of accomplishment is felt, because you met the high standards that were set. If you want to learn real Okinawan martial arts and truly apply what you are taught, you can't do better than Traditional Karate Center.
