To be honest with you, I haven't done much research on them.
Gatorade and powerade to my knowledge aren't bad for you.
But I believe the energy drinks like Red Bull probably are if used excessively.
Generally any of the strong energy drinks used in excess can be bad for you.
Note: But don't think you *need* that stuff. If you supply yourself with a sufficient amount of good carbohydrates before doing any activity, you'll be *aware* enough.
And as for the gym, I've trained for nearly 4 years and have made great gains without ever taking any energy drinks. Just need to know how to eat for those types of activities.
