How do I customize Apple Watch workout alerts for specific activities?

Apple Watch alerts are pretty stupid. It asks if I’m on an elliptical every time I sweep the floor. And it goes crazy about my heart rate when I’m on a stationary bike.

You can stop it asking you if you are doing a workout by watch Settings, Workout, turn off Start Workout Reminders. That is the limit of the customisation.

If you want to stop heart warnings, ie too high for lack of gps movement on the spin bike, either turn off high heart rate warnings (not recommended) or never do a spin session without starting a watch workout session.
