David Minicucci

Founder · Classical Pilates Instructor · Movement Specialist

I teach Classical Pilates the way it was meant to be practiced — focused, hands-on, and personal. I’ve been teaching Classical Pilates for more than 15 years, and every lesson is designed to meet you exactly where you are that day.

My background includes being a NASM-certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), Senior Fitness Specialist, and I'm a California-licensed massage therapist. That education and mix of movement, strength, and recovery work gives me a deeper understanding of how to help people move better and feel stronger.

I’ve trained under some of the Method’s most respected teachers — Mari Winsor, Saul Choza, Trish Garland, and Moses Urbano — and their influence continues to shape how I teach today.

At Breakthrough Pilates, I’ve built a space for real progress — not trends or shortcuts, but authentic Classical Pilates that helps you move, perform, and feel your best.

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 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.
