The function is Exp, not exp, and it needs square brackets not parentheses.
r0 = 1.4;
z0 = 1.4;
w = Exp[(-2(x^2 + y^2/r0^2))]*Exp[(-2(z^2/z0^2))] // FullSimplify
The function you're after is ContourPlot3D, and you use it like
Needs["Graphics`ContourPlot3D`"]
ContourPlot3D[w, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, -1, 1}, Contours -> {.75}, \
PlotRange -> All, Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1}];
This produces "something", but it's not (IMHO) particularly useful or
informative.
You might get better value from either animating the 3D plot or another
approach.
Dave.
