The irony there is one of the longest term trainers in Gold's Rosslyn gym is "Hack." He only works with fit people, and does get results (I've seen).
Having to keep yourself balanced takes practice, and unlike strength training, is more designed for the stamina (slow-twitch) muscles. I understand it seems gimmicky, and am generally skeptical, but through boxing I've learned the value of training stamina muscles rather than just strength. You can't just slop 100lbs on your abs to make your core stable - you actually need to do those annoying hundreds of situps with and without weights from 20 difference positions.
Mountain hiking is actually good core training as you have to constantly adjust your angle of incline small bits over several hours.
