A Method That Works — Because It’s Meant To
Breakthrough Pilates follows the original Classical system — a structured, intelligent method using authentic Gratz apparatus. Every session builds on the last: deeper strength, better alignment, greater control.
- Rooted in the six core principles: Concentration, Control, Centering, Precision, Breath, and Flow.
- Full-body strength, not just individual muscle groups.
- A system that adapts as you progress — from foundational work to advanced repertoire.
Curious about the “why” behind the work? On Breakthrough Perspectives, we dig into the history, science, and practice — what Joseph built, why it works, and how to apply it today.

Classical Pilates is more than a workout. It’s a practice that reshapes how you move through your day.
Strength With Purpose
Create a body that’s powerful, balanced, and capable — not just tired from random effort.
Mobility & Control
Move with ease instead of tension. Build range of motion you can actually use.
Posture & Ease
Less strain, fewer aches. Learn to stand, sit, and work from your powerhouse.
A Method That Grows With You
From your first footwork on the Reformer to advanced repertoire, the system progresses as you do.

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.
