Does it even make sense to go to the gym if you don't have a healthy diet?

    Sure. Why not?

    Exercise for health.

    "Diet" (calorie deficit) for weight loss.

    ^^^^^ This!!!!!

    I do cardio for cardiovascular health and endurance, I lift to build strength. I have also been known to "refuel" with a McDouble. Having food that is less nutritious doesn't magically erase the health benefits from exercise.

    I guess this is a big missconception then, but between my friends thaz DO go to the gym, I always hear them talking how they can't eat sugar, but they have one "cheat day" a week where they eat anything they want

    Your friends sound rather sad and extremely ignorant.

    Of course it is worth it. Exercise and poor diet is better than no exercise and poor diet. Besides, a diet with too much sugar might still be full of good nitration otherwise. Also the transition to a good diet might be easier if one already has healthy habits like regular exercise.
