On August 20, 2016, the Cancer Support Community of Pasadena, CA recognized The Dynamic Advantage’s owners, Brandon Flowers and Rick Caputo for their twenty years of onsite, volunteer service. It was April 1, 1996 when Flowers accepted an invitation from client, Marcia Albert to go to the Community (formerly known as The Wellness Community) and explore their needs for a personalized small group exercise program to help the survivors stave off some of the more debilitating side effects of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. The program was called Dynamic Strength Training and became an immediate hit. After six months of weekly sessions serving up to ten people, Rick Caputo got involved. He and Flowers began alternating the coaching each week from that point forward.
The Cancer Support Community has been in Pasadena since the summer of 1990 and was celebrating it’s 26th anniversary at the Mardi Gras-themed event. Rick Caputo said, “This was a great night. It has been a joy and a blessing to help so many people improve the quality of their lives for such a long time.”
