This noun is made up of “Training” (training) and “Einheit” (unit/session). The gender of the word (“die”) is determined by the last part, “die Einheit” (the unit). The “s” is a linking element.
Eine Einheit dauert bei uns immer 90 Minuten.
One session always lasts 90 minutes for us.
Certain verbs are often used in connection with “Trainingseinheit” (training session). You can “absolvieren” (complete), “leiten” (lead), “planen” (plan), or “einlegen” (fit in/add) a training session.
Der Trainer plant die nächste Trainingseinheit sehr genau.
The coach plans the next training session very precisely.
The word emphasizes that it is a single, time-limited, planned part of a larger training program. It is used not only in sports, but also for professional training courses.

'das Training' and 'die Trainingseinheit' can both mean a single period of time in which you train. In this use, they are often very similar. 'Training' is shorter and especially common in everyday language. 'Trainingseinheit' is more precise and sounds a little more planned, for example in a training plan or at a sports club. The words can easily be confused because both can refer to a practice session. If you only need to make it clear that someone is training, 'Training' is usually enough. If you want to emphasize a specific section in a plan, 'Trainingseinheit' fits well.
Nach der ersten Trainingseinheit bespricht der Trainer den Plan für die Woche.
After the first training session, the coach discusses the plan for the week.
Heute fällt das Training aus, weil die Halle geschlossen ist.
