Reality TV star and fitness guru Sam Wood has been charged with domestic violence offences in Noosa and refused bail, with the case due in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday.
Reality TV star and fitness guru Sam Wood is behind bars in Queensland after being charged with alleged domestic violence offences in Noosa. He was refused bail and is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday.
Queensland Police said they charged a 46-year-old Victorian man with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence) and strangulation in a domestic setting. Police were called to an address in Noosa on Saturday at around 9pm. A source with knowledge of the situation but not authorised to speak publicly confirmed the Melbourne-based fitness guru was the man charged. The alleged victim cannot be identified under Queensland law.
Sam Wood Business And Financial History
Family and business contacts of Wood were approached for comment. The charges against Wood are allegations and the matter is due before the court on Monday. Wood built an online fitness and nutrition business, 28 by Sam Wood, after he rose to fame in season three of The Bachelor in 2015. In 2022, Wood sold the online fitness business to genomics group myDNA for $71 million.
MyDNA is backed by Melbourne-based businessman and healthcare entrepreneur Dennis Bastas. Wood remained the face of the online platform under the new owner. About four months ago, Wood was revealed as the face of new business Ollo For Women. The platform focuses on medical weight loss, nutrition and telehealth and caters to women aged 40 and over.
Wood has done the heavy lifting in the media and promotional space for the company. However, it has not been all plain sailing for Wood. In November 2025, it was revealed Wood was being pursued for more than $7 million in unpaid taxes by the Australian Taxation Office. The Deputy Commissioner of Taxation launched civil action against Wood in the County Court of Victoria in October of that year.
Sam Wood Tax Dispute And Real Estate Ventures
The action sought allegedly unpaid money for the tax periods ending June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. A recent update on the court listing shows an agreement was recently reached between the parties. The case was dismissed without adjudication in September. In November last year, Wood revealed he had rented his bayside home to Oasis superstar Liam Gallagher for six nights.
The British band was in Melbourne to play sold-out shows as part of their world tour. It was Liam and his fiancee, and they have left their ice cream in the fridge and books on the mantelpiece, and they signed a couple of posters for me. And it is very, very cool, Wood told Nova radio at the time. As a real estate investor, Wood purchased a $7.15 million home in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton in September last year.
He sold another property for $6.1 million in July 2025. The charges against Wood are allegations and the matter is due before the court on Monday. Wood remains in custody after being refused bail.
