Shane Manney – 5 Stones Fight Club, Overlapping Faith with Fitness, and MORE!

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Shane Manney to discuss the 5 Stones Fight Club, Gym, and Ministry in Pennsylvania. The two discuss the 5 Stones Journey, the overlap and interplay between faith and fitness, and so much more! 

5 Stones goal is to engage individuals in mixed martial arts and fitness so that they can become both physically fit and spiritually sound. Relating our struggles on the wrestling mats and in the cage to our daily battles in life, and to provide the necessary support to become moral representatives of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 5 Stones uses a team atmosphere to grow trust and build a sense of belonging. By employing the Biblical phrase “..iron sharpens iron..” relationships are strengthened, and a “family” of brothers and sisters is created, both in athletics and in Faith. Introducing them to Jesus Christ through the Gospel with the goal of leading them to personal salvation and a relationship with Him.

Shane Manney is the founder of 5 Stones Fight Club. He has over 20 years of coaching experience that includes wrestling, boxing, submission grappling and strength training. He spent six years as an infantry machine gunner in the United States Marine Corps, two years as a police officer in Richmond, Virginia, and eight years as a private security contractor and security lead supervisor for Exelon Nuclear Security. Currently, he works in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation at Pennsylvania Counseling Services. 

At 5 Stones, Shane instructs wrestling, submission grappling and strength training classes. As the director of the missionary committee, he oversees 5 Stones’ International High-Risk Missions, working in various conflict zones around the globe to bring hope, joy and the love of Jesus to those in need. He also facilitates the “War Room” at 5 Stones which is a time of fellowship, baptisms, prayer and celebration.
