Celebrity fitness trainer Commando Steve Willis has been granted an interim apprehended violence order against a former client after police were called to his northwest Sydney home last week over a public dispute.
Willis’ lawyer requested an AVO on his behalf in Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday and the case has been adjourned to June 30th.
A woman identified as Jun Yue, who goes by Margaret, was ordered to stay away from the former Biggest Loser star until the case is resolved.
Confidential has contacted both parties for comment.

It comes after Willis and his new girlfriend Harika Vancuylenberg were embroiled in a nasty spat with Yue at Caddies Creek Reserve in Kellyville over personal training fees last month.
Police were called after the first dispute and again one week later after a woman resembling Yue was allegedly spotted in Willis’ neighbourhood.
Yue had reported Willis to the police for allegedly breaching social distancing rules during his group training sessions, which he denied.
A representative for Willis previously said the father-of-four had growing concerns which prompted the AVO application.
“Steve was contacted (by police) on Saturday regarding a reported breach of social distancing,’’ the trainer’s spokeswoman said.
“He confirmed with local police that he was operating as per current regulations.
“We are in the process of seeking appropriate legal measures against [Margaret].”
Yue recently claimed she had been dragged into a dispute between Willis and his ex-girlfriend Michelle Bridges.
In messages obtained by Confidential, Bridges recently told Yue she might be used as a witness in a case involving Willis.
“I do not trust him,’’ Bridges wrote to Yue on Instagram.
“You might be asked questions of which you will have to tell the truth. I’m staying away from anyone who is in contact with him.”
Willis began dating Vancuylenberg after his split from Bridges last year, after seven years together.
The pair reportedly met at a fitness retreat in Tahiti back in November and recently went public with their romance.
Earlier this year, Bridges was arrested on drink driving charges on the morning of Australia Day and she was later given a three-month driving ban and a $750 fine with a conviction recorded after pleading guilty to mid-range drink driving.
The former power couple share four-year-old son Axel and Willis, 43, is also a dad to three other children from previous relationships – Brianna, 20, Ella, 11 and Jack, seven.
