typical session, taster session


Explanation:
Wir müssten hier schon ein bisschen mehr Zusammenhang haben,
wenn es um den Stundenaufbau beim Sporttraining geht spricht man auch von "typical session" - und wenn es jedoch darum geht vorzuführen aus was so ein Sportstraining besteht, kommt auch
"taster session" zum Zuge (mit der man auf den Geschmack kommen soll).

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Clare Forder: I think this sounds best if indeed it is a "taster" before potential students enrol in the course. If not, I'd go with Beate's suggestion above.

Introductory session


Explanation:
The famous "Schnupperstunde" (which I believe doesn't always have to last 60 mins)? "Session" doesn't back-translate that well, but is often what is meant by "Stunde" IME.
