depends on what you're looking for. If it will get you into the gym and nothing else will, go for it. If you don't have the interest or discipline to go on your own, go for it.
If you'd like to see maximal strength/muscle gains, go see a powerlifting/olympic lifting coach for a few sessions (or join their likely weekly program for not very much $$) and do a linear progression program like Greyskull, Starting Strength, etc.
"but what about my core?" Guess what? After years of squatting on medicine balls packed to the ceiling, I can't say I had a strong core. Squat 2+x your body weight and you'll be surprised how magically strong your core gets :-)
