JACKSON HEIGHTS — It's almost time to get ripped for cheap.

Blink Fitness will offer $1 registration and a $15-a-month memberships for its newest gym at the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and 78th Street, employees said. The low-cost fitness chain typically charges a $15 fee to sign up at other locations, according to its website.

The two-story space is still under construction and the company is offering the deal until the gym opens later this month, according to its website.

The $15 monthly fee gives locals access to the Jackson Heights location, and a $20-a-month premium membership gives access to most other Blink locations.

The gym is also holding an open house on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. where locals can check out the gym, which is nearly finished, employees said.

The workout chain has more than 30 locations across New York and New Jersey, including gyms in Astoria and Jamaica.

Blink is the low-cost branch of the pricey Equinox brand of gyms and touts its clean spaces with "top-of-the-line equipment" and proximity to public transportation. 

Blink Fitness' new location is at 78-14 Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights. The gym will be open Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. until 11 p.m.; Friday from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
