I really want to use a punching bag on a regular basis. Where do I go?

I love punching bags. They are one of my favorite ways to work out. I also love punching, and kicking, things….hard. I used to have one when I lived at home, years ago, but it broke and then I moved. I don’t have room for one in my house or I would just buy one. From what I gather, the rec center here does not have one, and I am certainly not going to buy a gym membership solely to use the punching bag (I don’t want or need one either). Do gyms even have punching bags, though? Would there be other more specialized places that might have one I could use that would be cheaper? Is it creepy if I post an ad on Craigslist asking if I can pay (or not) someone to use their punching bag? I don’t know where else to turn!
Also, as a side note, do you have any suggestions for activities or sports I should get into if I love punching and kicking so much? Punching more than kicking. I would like to do this as my main exercise, and to get into shape. Any input/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

do you live near a boxing gym? If you are not near a boxing gym then you can join a 24hour fitness, all of the 24’s I’ve been to have punching bags and kicking bags. If you are without either of those options I would suggest a community center.
Googled it, and the boxing gym nearby is 90 dollars a month. :( I went on 24 hour fitness’s website and “punching bag” isn’t listed in their amenities. So, again, is it weird if I throw an ad up on Craigslist? I recently started working a lot with a person who exceeds what I thought was the maximum level of annoying that a human could be. So, I am in a rush to find a punching bag now especially.
There is no ad too weird to be thrown up on Craigslist.
Cant figure out what section to post in. Services?
I would just lean my mattress up against a wall.
I personally think that posting this on to Criagslist is a risk. I am biased though. I had a friend who was murdered in the fall going to a job interview in Ohio.
Try looking under Mixed Martial Arts or UFC. There might someplace nearby for that.
