Dear friends and family,

On September 8th, Driven Studio will be closing its doors at 225 West Ave. I firstly want to thank all of you for the support with this journey. We have touched the lives of so many incredible people. I am so proud of the community cultivated in such a short time and I know this will leave a lasting impact on my life, and yours, too. Something I have poured my entire being into would not at all be possible without you.

Through , I will continue coaching, training, and instructing, leading and collaborating in a way that aligns with my family and values right now. Please email [email protected] for all inquiries.

All passes will be redeemable through September 8th and classes will remain scheduled through this date.

Stay tuned new offerings from and for what’s to come in the space we have called home as we continue to support our growing community of fitness & wellness professionals.

With love,

Andrea Locke
Owner & Founder of and
Certified Personal Trainer and Wellness Coach

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my years of experience as a coach, it’s that the self-critic in us comes from someone else’s version of what movement SHOULD look like and comparing it to that made up version. When you take on this version as your own success, that’s when we feel like we’re failing… if we don’t adhere to the program, if we don’t strength train X many days per week, if we can’t touch our toes, or balance on one leg.. we think we’re failing because someone told us that’s what movement should look like.

Here’s what’s amazing about movement and working with me. YOU get to discover what you feel like doing every day, try on different routines, explore new hobbies, and finally find confidence that you CAN in fact love movement and feel amazing about it

If this is something you’re ready to explore, let’s work together! Book a discovery call (link in bio) and let’s get to know each other, taking one step closer to knowing yourself in the process 🌿

Someone recently described motherhood to me as the most fierce love they have ever known, and that couldn’t be further from the truth ✨ forever growing with you, baby 🌿

I can’t believe she will be 8 months old this week! I’m pretty sure she is saying Mama, and she climbed a whole flight of stairs! Holding you extra tight today, because time really does fly 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and moms to be, no matter what stage you are in. There is a spectacular lesson to be learned in every moment with them if you choose to bring awareness to it🌿

THIS 🙌🏻 what have you put on the back burner lately because it feels like you have to earn it to do it? I’ve been thinking about this as I approach my first Mother’s Day. Why am I waiting for a special day to define what I could really have used weeks ago and receive more often?

Self-care doesn’t mean you have to go get pampered every day… It could mean a walk with a friend, alone time in silence, talking nicely to yourself, or attending a workout class. It’s unique to you, and that’s what’s important.

But what’s more, realizing that it is indeed NECESSARY for the preservation of who YOU are is key to giving yourself permission to participate in these acts, big or small.

So, what’s your self-care practice of the day? Comment below and inspire someone else 👇

These goals are incredible, and what’s even more amazing seeing it come to life before your eyes.. seeing that transformation happen so easily because it’s already in you.

It starts with a vision, and as that vision becomes real, you take action with the smallest step of reaching out to our team.

Hold the vision, trust the process, stay driven 🌿

Tell us about your goals and how you envision us working together by filling out our New Client Intake form in the link in bio.

What if this year you focused on the actions instead of the result? Embodying what that person would do in the smallest tasks that compound on one another. It’s okay if it happens slowly, it’s okay if you take two steps backward, and it’s okay to just plant the seeds for now ✨

How’s your 2024 looking so far?!

That’s right, you don’t need to be the expert, you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just have to start in the simplest way possible and let your actions compound over time to have a huge shift.

December is a beautiful time to declutter your life as we embrace what’s truly important to us. Use this clarity to propel you forward as you enter this time for new beginnings.

No more January fads and New Year resolutions. It’s time for real results from actionable steps. Start by booking a discovery call using the link in bio or under appointments on the Mindbody app!

A year of incredible change and growth 🌿 becoming a mother changes you, it really does. It’s like it unfolds a better layer of the person you were meant to step into. It’s like a version of you that always existed and was just waiting to surface at the right time.

In 2024, I’m taking her with me, this grounded version that embraces real and raw, that speaks her truth and feels it all

In 2023, I was made whole.
In 2024, I’m letting my whole self shine ✨

As we head into holiday prep and all the festivities, it’s so easy to feel totally spent come new year. Here are some preventative tips to keep the next few weeks feeling smooth sailing, even if it all feels like complete chaos 🎁

wishing you a happy, healthy, holiday!

Nothing has ever taught more than this to be fully present and extremely grateful for what you have here in this moment ✨

It’s so easy to look forward, plan ahead, and wish for the next thing. Now more than ever, what’s right here in front of me IS the best thing.

That’s my family, my business & community, where I am right now in my postpartum fitness journey… all of it.

I’m so grateful for all of it ✨

I like to think I’m an optimist, especially when it comes to bananas going brown in my kitchen… there is literally no other choice than to bake banana muffins!

Muffins over bread are a personal plus for me because they are easier to prep and keep in the fridge better throughout the week, but you could do either!

Here’s the recipe:
2 browned bananas mashed
1/4 cup honey or agave (optional, but I always find the bananas if ripe enough provide all the sweetness you need)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole organic milk (or nut milk of your choice)
2 cups of whole wheat flour
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
(optional, dark chocolate chips, or walnuts to mix in the muffins)

Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Use olive oil spray to line the paper cups.

Combine the mashed banana, the cinnamon, the coconut oil, the vanilla and milk into a large bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate smaller bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle this back into the banana mixture until a batter forms. Fold in any extras like chocolate chips or walnuts.

Separate the batter into the prepared muffin tins . Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

I enjoyed these all week by keeping them in the fridge in an airtight container 🍌

This body 🌿

It’s strange and so magical to know your body will never be the same. I think you can choose to live in fear of this, or you can choose to embrace it.

This body is growing my daughter. She feels everything I feel, she hears everything I hear. So I tell her I love it every day and I’m so proud of what it’s doing for my life in every phase, because that’s exactly how I’d want her to talk to herself🌿

I’m feeling a lot of things… nervous, excited, anxious, curious, passionate…

Above all, I can’t wait to show my girl the big world that’s out there that I’ve only discovered 1/4 of.. I can’t wait to show her what people have made possible. I can’t wait to show her the amazing community at , the affect you can have on people. I can’t wait to share with her my own passion for the people I help in both careers, while showing her anything she wants is possible.

It’s amazing what new life can put into perspective for you. It’s been showing me extreme gratitude for the support of my team, my friends and family, the community that feels like family… it’s just been an incredible journey already and I can’t say thank you enough!

A special thanks to my best friend for making me feel like the most beautiful glowing mama with these photos

The Summer I Turned Pregnant 🤰

🎀

Way way WAY in my Driven Girl Era 🌿

So excited about this summer and all that is to come!!

As I grow a baby girl, still continue to pursue the growth of our studio, my relationship with private clients, and our group class schedule, I can’t thank this community and our team at Driven enough for this opportunity 🌿

I may not be teaching as much, but I am taking plenty of classes from our amazing team side by side with you, still programming for our online clients, and taking on private clients while I can.

You can inquire for online programs and private sessions through the New Client Intake form using the link in my bio.

Who’s ready for One Driven Summer?!

LIVING in clothes
throughout this pregnancy and feeling absolutely so confident.

I’ve been right where you are, pregnant or not, experiencing changes with your body that sometimes aren’t anticipated… weight gain, muscle loss from an injury, and yes… pregnancy.

I think it’s best in those moments to evaluate where you are and if there’s a purpose for that change. But it absolutely has to start with acceptance, growing from a place of LOVE for your body, not hate or disgust. Only then can we work on physical change.

Personally, I know for me there’s a purpose for these changes and I love every second of it.

If you are looking to make a change in your body, let it first come from love 🤍🤍

Don’t get it twisted, and don’t get caught up in the noise!

There’s a lot of information on there, and some old school OB-GYNs that will tell you to completely stop exercise and weight training altogether.

There’s a better way, and you should expect better, mama 🤰

Stay informed and stay tuned for fun things in the works at the Studio, and resources for all 👀

In the meantime you can book a strategy call on my calendar using the link in bio. Or head to the MINDBODY app and schedule under appointments.

Week 16 🤍

Lucky to be feeling good
Lucky to be here with amazing people
Lucky to be adventuring with my little babe on the way 🌿

Our little family is growing 🤍 thank you to my best friend for taking these beautiful photos in our home, what has become such a special place in such a short time ✨

When we moved here 3 years ago, we envisioned what life would be like to raise a little one in our favorite town. The beach, the playground, the library, this amazing community all at our fingertips… We’re just so incredibly excited for it all.

To our family, friends, my rockstar Driven Team & Clients, thank you for your support and all that’s to follow in the next year!

Baby due September 2023!!

What are you doing for you lately?
Do you feel like you’re the same person you were a year ago?
How have you grown as a person in any small way?
What habits are you proud of that you’ve picked up?

Ask yourself these questions and don’t be afraid to go looking for the answer.

If you’re looking for a deeper understanding and connection with yourself, here’s a few simple steps to take to get started:

1. Start a journaling practice. I love the 5 minute journal! Such an easy place to start to stay consistent. I show up daily for it because it’s sooo easy.

2. Give to charity or do something for someone else once a week. The feeling is unexpectedly rewarding, even if what your feel like you’re doing is small.

3. Create sustainable movement habits. Your daily workouts don’t all have to be extremely intense, but assess how certain movement makes you feel. Do you feel empowered after a strength class? Do you feel calm after a yin class? Does it help to relieve stress by taking a walk after work? What things make it easy to show up daily?

4. Practice self care. Learn to say no more often. Light a candle with your morning coffee. Wake up early and spend time just being with yourself.

5. Do something for fun that helps express creativity. Get out in nature. Paint something. Take photos. Make a craft with a friend.

Do yourself a favor and try to incorporate one of the above this week. Then report back and comment below what you did!

Yes, you can have your cake and eat it, too!

Never feel deprived, isolated, or like you have to turn away from friends to see any real progress.

At the end of the day, this is life we’re talking about! Whatever you do to manage your weight and stay healthy, make sure it’s sustainable. Ask yourself “can I keep up with this long term? Does this make me happy?”

You’ll always find the answer 🌿
