Terroll Lewis' story is truly inspiring, especially his journey of transformation and growth. Growing up on the Myatt's Field estate in Brixton, he was surrounded by gang culture, and like many others, he found it difficult to resist the allure of the lifestyle. By the age of 15, he had already joined a gang, experienced violence, and was involved in drug dealing. However, a chance to play professional football offered a way out. Despite the temptation of an easier life, filled with girls, money, and cars, Terroll chose a different path.

He returned to South London and the notorious OC gang. Violence and drug dealing were the norm in this world, but Terroll has since turned his back on it. Although the association with OC remains etched on his skin, he has chosen to give back to his community.

Today, Terroll is the founder of Block Workout, a street gym located in his old neighborhood. Through this gym, he provides young men with an opportunity to pursue a different path than he took during his adolescence. He helps them develop their minds and bodies, giving them the chance to live a better life.

Terroll's story is a testament to the power of transformation and the ability to overcome adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better future. His dedication to giving back to his community is a shining example of how one person can make a difference in the lives of others.
