Coach Gemma Newman
UESCA Certified Run Coach
With over 8 years of running experience, including multiple marathons and three ultra-marathons, I am passionate about helping others discover their own potential through the transformative power of running.
As a running coach, I specialize in creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all runners of all levels. From those taking their first steps to well-seasoned athletes seeking new challenges, I am here to support you.
Originally from Ireland, I made Airdrie my home 12 years ago. Immigrating to this vibrant city gave me a deep appreciation for community and connection, which I bring into every coaching relationship. As a mom of one and someone who works closely with our seniors, I have a keen ability to see the value and potential in others, even when they might not see it themselves.
I am a true believer that most of our limitations are self-imposed, and I am here to help you break through those barriers. Whether you're looking to finish your first 5K, conquer your first marathon, or simply build your confidence, I am dedicated to helping you every step of the way.
Let’s embrace your journey together, unlock the next level, and build your confidence as part of an amazing team where you will be supported each and every step of the way.
Let’s become limitless together.

Run Coaching
"Gemma has been a friend for many years, but since the beginning of this year, she’s also been my coach. She spent a long time gently nudging me toward running, and eventually, she became the one who gave me the final push to complete my first half marathon distance run. I honestly don’t think I would’ve gotten there without her.
Her training plan has been spot-on, but it’s her encouragement and personal advice that have made all the difference. She’s been a steady voice of support—lifting me up when I’ve doubted myself, and helping me realize I’m capable of more than I thought. With her guidance, running has become something much more than just exercise—it’s become a journey. She’s broadened my horizons and taken me to places, physically and mentally, I never expected to reach.
If you want someone in your corner who’s as invested in your progress as you are—who celebrates your wins, picks you up when it’s tough, and helps you grow as a runner and as a person—Gemma is the coach you want. I can’t recommend her enough."
Run Coaching
"Working with Gemma completely changed the way I run. Before coaching, I was just trying to push through on my own, now I understand pacing, recovery, and mindset in a way that makes running actually enjoyable. I was trying to navigate this big world of running on my own and had no idea where to start or turn and make sure I was doing it without creating bad habits. She created personalized plans that fit my life, kept me motivated, and helped me hit goals I never thought I could reach. I was able with just a short time of training with Gemma to hit a goal of running a 5k race in 45:00 which is something I never thought I would have been able to do. I’m stronger, more confident, and genuinely excited for every run. She is always there to encourage and inspire me. The workout and training plans are challenging but very doable. Being able to message her and knowing I am not doing this all on my own made me feel like I could achieve more. Those check ins make me feel appreciated, she checked in on me when I was sick and made sure I was still being there for myself and not giving up all together and just moving my body. I can’t recommend Gemma enough for anyone wanting to take their running to the next level."
