Let us say a new gym member wants a gym coach to train for the first. So what would be correct:
The coach agreed to give the client a workout.
The coach agreed to give the client a training.
Tell me please what is the natural way say that!

To use "train", it would be simpler to say, "The coach agreed to train the client."

@fixer1234: Or if you wanted to be clear that this was a one time thing, something like "The coach agreed to give the client an initial training session."

The first sentence (workout) would be fine if the workout is a single training session.
If you look up training in the Cambridge Dictionary, you will see that it says noun U: the U means that it is uncountable. With uncountable nouns, you don't use the indefinite article a, so your second sentence is incorrect as it stands.
If you want to talk about a single session, you could say a training session. If the training might over several sessions, you could say some training.

“To give someone a workout†maybe should be avoided because that specific choice of words can have another (slang - sexual) meaning.

@James Well, yes,but here it is OK I would think. To oversee a workout. To help with a workout.

Agree with @Lambie in this context it’s fine, just be aware of the other meaning.

We don't normally say a training since it is non-count, but a training session or simply training.

Perhaps The coach agreed to give the prospective client a free introductory training session.
