A troubled personal trainer who mysteriously died when he broke into a family home was previously banned from going near a female client if he had been drinking or taking drugs.

Johan Schwartz, 44, was woken at 7.30am on Sunday and walked downstairs to find Bradley Soper in the living room of his Harrington Park home in Sydney's south-west.

The muscular intruder collapsed and became unconscious during the confrontation. He died at the scene.

Mr Soper's friends said the incident was 'completely out of character' for the usually 'gentle' and 'decent' 35-year-old, but conceded he had gone through 'personal issues' in recent times - including troubles with women and an addiction to cocaine. 

One of those issues came to a head in 2017 when Sydney woman Alysse Bowen took out an AVO against Soper, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.

The order, which was made for 12 months, included conditions that he not 'assault or threaten' Ms Bowen or approach her while intoxicated.  

'The defendant must not approach or be in the company of [Ms Bowen] for at least 12 hours after drinking alcohol or taking illicit drugs,' court documents state. 

Mr Soper represented himself at Waverley Local Court when the order was made in February 2017.    

Mr Soper was a strength and conditioning coach, according to his Instagram page, which showed him competing in various Strongman competitions around the world.

In 2015, Ms Bowen appeared in social media photos taken at Mr Soper's gym in Narellan, with captions suggesting she was one of his clients.

Meanwhile, friends have paid tribute to Mr Soper and expressed their disbelief that he would break into a home. 

Joe Williams, a former NRL player, professional boxer and close friend of Mr Soper, said he knew nothing of the 35-year-old's recent troubles.

'He was a decent guy mate. I'm shocked at the circumstances,' Williams told Daily Mail Australia. 

'Breaking into someone's house? That's not the Brad I knew. That's not how we want to remember him. 

'It's completely out of character... it's hard to believe it's actually him.'
