If you check the template sites carefully, most will have clauses in their terms preventing you from taking the templates, tweaking a little and reselling them as your own or otherwise claiming a template as your own work. Your clients may not be too happy about it either, if they find out.
There's nothing wrong though with taking a look at what others are doing and being inspired. To be honest I don't think you will find a lot that is worth emulating on most template sites, there's a lot of sameness amongst them. The best cure for design block is to be found away from the monitor and the influences of other designers.
