'das Training' and 'das Workout' both have to do with exercises for fitness, strength, or performance. 'Training' is more general: it can mean regular practice over a longer period or also a single training session. It fits in sports, but also at work or in learning. 'Workout' usually means a single planned physical exercise session, often at the gym or at home. Learners may confuse the words because both are used in sports. As a guideline: 'Training' is broader, while 'Workout' sounds more like fitness exercises for the body.
