Abbie Eggleston Christchurch Obituary: Flex Fitness Lincoln Founding Member Remembered After Unexpected Passing
The Flex Fitness Lincoln community in Lincoln, New Zealand, is mourning the unexpected passing of Abbie Eggleston, a cherished member whose presence has been part of the gym’s story since its very beginning. Her loss has deeply saddened the fitness family, which is now preparing to honour her memory through a special community workout dedicated to celebrating her life and supporting her loved ones.
Abbie was one of Flex Fitness Lincoln’s founding members, joining alongside her mother, Lynn, and her sisters. From the day the gym opened its doors, she remained an important part of the community, building friendships and creating memories through her commitment to fitness and participation in the club’s events and activities.
According to the gym’s heartfelt tribute, Abbie had trained with Thomas from the very beginning. Over the years, she became much more than a member; she was part of the close-knit Flex family. Her involvement in special occasions and community events helped make her a familiar and valued presence among fellow members.
Following her unexpected passing last week, Flex Fitness Lincoln has announced a free community Sweat class in Abbie’s loving memory. The gathering is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 10:30 a.m. at the gym. The workout will include exercises from Abbie’s own training programme, including some movements she reportedly had a love-hate relationship with.
Participants are encouraged to wear their brightest colours as a joyful tribute to Abbie and a symbol of the love and support surrounding her family. The event welcomes everyone who wishes to participate, remember Abbie, and stand alongside those grieving her loss.
The gym is also organising a collection for anyone wishing to support the Eggleston family. Donations, cards, meals, and vouchers are welcome, and community members who cannot attend the workout can still drop off contributions at the club.
Those wishing to participate are asked to reserve a place by messaging Flex Fitness Lincoln or booking through the LU Methods app.
Beyond the workout itself, the gathering represents the strength of a community united by friendship, compassion, and shared experiences. It offers an opportunity to remember Abbie not simply through sadness, but through the activities, relationships, and moments that made her part of the Flex family.
Rest peacefully, Abbie Eggleston. Your place in the Flex Fitness Lincoln community will never be forgotten. May Lynn, your sisters, your family, and all who loved you find comfort in the memories you shared and strength in the support surrounding them. 🤍🕊️
