Wyncote Academy

Learn the Sport of Fencing in Wyncote, PA

Located in a 100+ year old brick former factory, our location in Wyncote, Abington Township, is the most state-of-the-art fencing gym in roughly a hundred mile radius. Full of natural light, this gym boasts a weight area with free weights, weight machines, and cardio machines; armoury, permanent reels, strips, and dedicated space for coaches, gear, and running tournaments. But most of all, North is where our founders, Maestro Mark Masters and Senior Coach Lara Masters, along with Coach Reilly Beauchamp, teach all three weapons and develop students’ highest potential, from beginner to elite athletes of all ages. 

Nestled between Rices Mill Road and Glenside Avenue, North is an easy walk from the regional rail station, two turns from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 309, and half a mile from Cheltenham High. There is drop-off space on the Rices Mill side, and free off-street parking on the Glenside Avenue lower lot.
