A company founded by Adelaide fitness superstar Kayla Itsines has taken a former employee to court, seeking to stop her from launching a rival fitness app.

A company previously owned by Adelaide's multi-million dollar fitness trainer Kayla Itsines is seeking a Supreme Court injunction to stop a rival app from being launched.But, her 12-month non-compete clause doesn't cease until FebruarySouth Australia's Supreme Court heard that Queensland's Cassandra Olholm plans to launch her own fitness app called "Train with Cass".

Today, the court heard Ms Olholm planned to launch her app in a matter of weeks but her contract with The Bikini Body Training Company contained a 12-month non-compete clause that will cease at the end of February.Ms Olholm's lawyer, Thomas McFarlane, said his client was preparing to launch her app and would argue that it should be a 6-month non-compete clause.

Judge Graham Dart asked if the companies could avoid expensive lawyers and solve the dispute outside the Supreme Court. However, the applicants lawyer said it was "peak time" for the fitness training app during summer, so the company wanted to proceed with the injunction order.
