David Minicucci – Classical Pilates Instructor, Movement Specialist & Founder

David Minicucci is a third-generation Romana’s Pilates instructor with over 15 years of experience in Classical Pilates and a deep-rooted passion for movement, strength, and rehabilitation. In addition to his expertise in Pilates, he is a NASM-certified Personal Trainer with specialized certifications, including Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), Senior Fitness Specialist (SFS), and Precision Nutrition (PN1). As a licensed massage therapist in both California and Hawaii, David brings an integrative approach, specializing in Sports Massage, Swedish, and Deep Tissue techniques to enhance movement and recovery.

David’s Pilates journey began with certification under Frank Zito at Elevation Fitness, followed by intensive training with Mari Winsor at Winsor Pilates. His experience working closely with Mari during her battle with ALS provided valuable insight into the intersection of Pilates and therapeutic bodywork. David continued to refine his craft under Saul Choza at Winsor Choza Pilates, where both Saul and Mari encouraged him to pursue his Romana’s Pilates International certification.

His dedication to Classical Pilates led him to study with renowned Pilates masters, including Trish Garland, Cynthia Lochard, Michael Levy, and Moses Urbano. This extensive training has shaped his precise, results-driven teaching style, emphasizing control, alignment, and strength through mastery of the apparatus.

In 2020, David founded Minicucci Pilates, rebranding in 2023 as Breakthrough Pilates—a space dedicated to authentic Classical Pilates training. With a strong commitment to helping clients move, feel, and perform at their best, David delivers a transformative experience, blending the original Pilates method with his extensive knowledge in fitness, corrective exercise, and bodywork.

At Breakthrough Pilates, David ensures every session is rooted in classical precision, expert guidance, and a commitment to real results.

I've been doing personal Pilates classes with David for about 5 months and have seen such a huge improvement in my fitness, strength and flexibility as well as in my mental health. I love that there are elements in the routine that we practice most sessions with increasing difficulty, but that he also keeps things fresh and interesting across the various apparatuses.
David has a great attention to detail and makes sure my form is perfect. He's very hands on in a great way because he also does massages and helps get the maximum benefit out of stretches. No Pilates instructor I've ever had even comes close.
Plus cute dogs and he has a sense of humor that leaves me in stitches each time. Overall wonderful experience and always a highlight of my week.

I travel to LA for work a lot and I’ve finally found my Pilates home in WeHo!
A great chill space that’s cozy and not about the hype. I did private sessions with David and he's an incredible teacher. Every educator is different and I learned so much from him. I initially booked for one session and wound up booking more while in town. Cant wait to come back to see him next month when I’m in town.

I enjoy going to Breakthrough Pilates for CLASSICAL pilates classes. The studio is very clean, with a calming and modern aesthetic. Two cute dogs come with the "package", I love petting them before and after the class.
The equipments are from the brand "Gratz Pilates", which are top-notch and sturdy. I love how the classes are always varied, ensuring that each session challenges me in new ways while keeping me engaged.
What I appreciate most is the personal attention and adjustments David gives, ensuring that everyone is working safely and effectively.
