Disable GPS per workout

[GerritV]

Is there a way to disable GPS per type of workout?
While very helpful for my Walking workouts, it serves no purpose for my indoor Stepping workout.
The reason for asking is mainly to eventually save battery power.

There is an indoor workout in the Apple Training app.

I’m not sure it’s on for indoor workouts, certainly not for my indoor cycling. And by “on” I mean used or tracking

I thought I found a partial solution: iPhone or Watch / Settings / Privacy & Security / Localization Services / Watch-Work-Out / "Ask next time..."
Yes it calls for an extra gesture at the start of a workout, and it only seems to not include a map inside the workout data. But apart from that, all other data are still being logged and/or calculated (like distance, pace) - IOW, no battery power saving
