Model and social media sensation, Elyse Knowles, is known for her envious bikini-ready body, but in between her busy modelling career and keeping fit, Elyse loves to help out a good cause. The 23 year old is currently the ambassador for DHL’s latest Safer Beaches campaign, which calls for swimmers to update their social media status with the swimmer emoji between two flags together with the hashtag #DHLSaferBeaches throughout summer.
“I love the idea of using social media to remind people to swim between the flags, while raising funds for the people who keep us safe on the beach,” says Elyse.
Amodrn were lucky enough to catch up with the beach babe herself to get the lowdown on all things fitness, food and travel. From the best advice she’s ever received to her favourite guilty pleasure, read it all in Elyse’s own words.
Meet Elyse Knowles
First three things I do when I wake up:
Exercise, drink water with lemon or apple cider vinegar, then after a shower I pamper my face with moisturisers and creams.
Last thing I do at night:
Put my alarm on to wake up bright and early.
Most people probably don’t know this about me, but:
I owned a Holden SS Ute for two years. I had big 20” black rims and hard top – it was a beast haha. I would put the motor bikes in the back, or the wakeboards, sometimes I would put a mattress in the back tub and sleep in there!
Best piece of advice I’ve ever received:
Don’t worry about anyone else, stick to your game and you will dominate.
Workout I’m currently obsessed with:
Boxing, reformer Pilates and high intensity sprints.
My food philosophy in one sentence:
Everything in moderation, keep it fresh and green, cut out processed sugars.
Best meal I’ve ever eaten:
I froth over an amazing lentil salad with salmon 🙌
If sugar were a superfood, my diet would consist of:
Natural Confectionary lollies and the occasional chocolate or ice cream.
I never leave home without:
My phone, wallet, Ulta3 CC cream, lip balm, usually a strapless bra for work, water and a healthy snack.
My favourite holiday destination is:
The Murray River – camping in the bush, sleeping in tents, stepping two meters into the river where my wake board and boat are ready for me = bliss!
My favourite emoji is:
👊
Three must-have items in my beach bag are:
Sunscreen, sunnies and insulated drink bottle with cold water in it.

My current mantra:
