I’m Evan Arbour, a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach based in Seattle. Some know me as @evanarbour (on Instagram/and Twitter), others as their fitness instructor, or others as the person writing this newsletter. However you arrived here – welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
What’s something is better than nothing?
Something is better than nothing is a fitness newsletter with a simple mission: help people understand the basics of strength training and nutrition so they can live a stronger life without restriction.
The newsletter is sent out twice a week, every week: one on Wednesdays for everyone & one on Saturdays for paid subscribers only.
Topics range from strength training guidance to nutrition education to recipes to stress management and wellness strategies. In addition to my weekly newsletter, paying subscribers get access to additional subscriber-only posts, comment threads to connect to others navigating through their fitness journey (so helpful!), online workshop announcements, and more.
I will give you the knowledge to build muscle, lose fat, stay the course & get strong, defined muscles without starving yourself or losing your mind.
And once you learn the foundations & the “why” behind it – anything is possible.
I have been a personal trainer for almost a decade and got into this profession to help people. I love seeing the difference strength training makes: the confidence boost, the sense of accomplishment, the discipline, the celebration when goals are met or surpassed, the resilience it takes to get back on track when they aren’t – that’s what has kept me in the game. But I’m only one person and I want to help as many people as possible.
And that’s why I created something is better than nothing.
So you can get access to workouts, education, recipes and strategies to achieve your goals from a coach who cares about you. Get what YOU want on YOUR terms, along with subscriber-only accountability threads all in one spot.
And, it’s at a fraction of the cost you’d pay for that generic, one-size-fits-all workout PDF from that TikTok influencer you follow.
Join to push yourself and achieve what you want. Not everyone in our community is looking for weight loss: some are looking to get jacked, some are trying to learn how to lift for the first time, some are gaining knowledge about nutrition. All goals are valid and celebrated. Whatever your goal, it’s time to feel and perform better than you ever have.
Join to end the cycle of crash diet > starvation > quitting > frustration. Find the knowledge – and the freedom – to get visible results without the wasted energy.
Join to invest in yourself and work with a coach who wants to see you succeed while surrounded by a community in it with you and cheering you on.
I have trained so many clients over the years and I know that starting is the hardest part. But I also know that every action — especially the small ones — add up to big change. So if you’d like to support the newsletter and my work, here are the options:
