No, getting is the gerund or present participle of the verb to get.

Precision

The gerund is the form in English, to use the action mentionned by the verb as an direct object or as a noun (subject)

- Running (noun) is hard

- i like running (direct object)

The present participle being the progressive tense of the verb (action non finished)

I am running

I was running

etc...
