You don't really need equipment.
The best ways to strengthen your core are activities that use it a lot, such as Capoeira.
Other forms of dance can also help, and the most effective ways to isolate parts of your core can be done with no equipment at all.
A Pilates class will teach you how to activate the deepest layer of your abdominal muscles (called 'Transversus') while doing other activities.
Singing lessons will help you to control and strengthen your breathing muscles, including the Intercostals and Diaphragm (which forms the 'lid' of your deep core). Some machinery can help; an 'inspiratory breath trainer' teaches you how to inhale dynamically, strengthening your Diaphragm.
The base of your deep core is formed by Pelvic Floor muscles, which can be trained by a range of different exercises. These are usually promoted as being good for improving your sex life. Again, equipment is available, especially for women, such as insertable weights and EMS (electronic stimulation) devices.
Deep lumbar (back) and lateral (side) muscles that form part of your core can best be stimulated by sports such as Kayaking or Judo, which use a lot of strong hip-isolation and waist-twisting movements.
