Calgary Running Coach Gemma

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.
