No a gerund...
it's just a simple preent continuous tense.
e.g. I am eating. (continusous tense)
I enjoy eating (gerund)
Both of the above two sentences consist of two verb, "are" + "eating" & "enjoy" + "eating". The former one is using the "verb to be". It is the fundamental structure of a present continuous tense.
c.f. "enjoy" is a main verb. It is grammerical incorrect to have two main verb in one sentence. Therefore, the other verb "eat" need to change either to the form of infinite or gerund to make the sentence correct. In case, a gerund will be used for the verb "enjoy".
Referring to your question, your sentence involve the verb "are/were", a "verb to be". Therefore, it is a continuous tense which represent a particular event is taking place at certain moment.
