sessions
Devoted time periods
Sessions is the plural of session—a period devoted to a particular activity.
Court sessions, recording sessions, therapy sessions, and legislative sessions all share this sense of bounded time for focused work.
Congressional hearings are often called sessions: The committee held sessions throughout the week.
In fitness, sessions refers to individual workouts: I've been doing three sessions a week with a trainer.
