I don't really do core any longer either. Kettlebell swings, dead lifts, squats, and snatches work it amply. I'll occasionally throw in some planks at the end of my workout if I have some extra time left over.
I'm with you on no "core day," though. If anything, do core for 5-10 minutes at the end of a workout (planks are fine), imo.
That being said, I think you're still at the point, luv, that you should stick to what's working for you and what you find enjoyable. I imagine your trainer wants to keep your motivation up and one way of doing that is to vary the workout while still maintaining a routine.
Go with what's working until it doesn't work.
