The Bachelor star Sam Wood stood down indefinitely from fitness empire after being charged with domestic violence offences as he remains behind bars

Sam Wood has been stood down indefinitely from his multi-million-dollar fitness and nutrition empire after being charged with domestic violence offences and refused bail.

The 46-year-old did not appear in court in Queensland on Monday and is set to remain in prison until a bail application on Thursday.

Wood was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence) and strangulation in a domestic setting after Queensland Police were called to an address in Noosa at about 9pm on Saturday.

The company behind his 28 by Sam Wood fitness business has issued a statement addressing the allegations, confirming the reality TV star would be taking a hiatus from his duties.

'DBG Health, the parent company of 28 by Sam Wood, has zero tolerance for domestic violence,' a DBG Health spokesperson said.

'While the matter is under investigation and before the court, Sam Wood is on indefinite leave from his duties. Our thoughts are with the family and anyone in the community affected by domestic violence,' they said.

The company also confirmed that Mark Watkins, 28 Group's chief operating officer, would take the reins in Wood's absence.

DBG Health, owned by billionaire Dennis Bastas, is also behind medical weight-loss business Ollo For Women.

Wood will remain behind bars after his domestic violence case was adjourned while his lawyers prepare a bail application and his defence against the charges.

Wood did not appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, with the matter instead dealt with by his lawyer, Mathew Cuskelly.

Mr Cuskelly asked for the case to be relisted on Thursday, when Wood is expected to apply for bail.

The celebrity fitness trainer will remain in the local watchhouse until at least Thursday, when the case is due to return to court.

The multi-millionaire, who has three children with his wife, Snezana, was arrested on Saturday after police attended a property on Noosa's main street, where he was staying while on holiday.

A police spokesperson said officers attended the Hastings Street address at about 9pm on Saturday after receiving reports of alleged domestic violence. 

'Police have charged a 46-year-old Victorian man with domestic violence offences early this morning, 4 October,' the spokesperson said.

'The man has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm (domestic violence) and strangulation in a domestic setting.'

Mr Cuskelly said Wood intends to defend the charges and that he would speak to him again later today after visiting him in the watchhouse last night. 

He added Wood was in good spirits but concerned for his family and eager to return to Victoria. 

The court developments come after Snezana, who met Wood on The Bachelor in 2015, publicly addressed the allegations on Monday morning. 

'This is a difficult time for all of us, we are working through this as a family and are thoroughly co-operating with the authorities,' they said, sharing the statement on both of their Instagram accounts.

Wood's social media follower count has also fallen dramatically, dropping by thousands amid the allegations.

The fitness entrepreneur married Snezana in an outdoor ceremony in Byron Bay in 2018.

They went on to have three children together, Willow, eight, Charlie, seven, and Harper, four.

They also co-parent  Eve, 21, who is Snezana's daughter from a previous relationship.

The Woods live in Brighton, Victoria, where they recently purchased a $7 million home in February. 

The celebrity trainer funnelled his Bachelor fame into building his highly successful fitness empire. 

Wood founded the fitness and training business 28 by Sam Wood, which he sold in 2022 for $71 million, and he remains the owner of The Woodshed gym in Melbourne.

Just four months ago, Wood was announced as the face of Ollo For Women, a newly launched platform focused on medical weight loss, nutrition and telehealth.
