You can ask on the pre-med forum for generalized pre-med advice.

You may want to consider schools which offer courses in exercise physiology/biology or physical education (academic courses for coaches, researchers, etc.) so that you can take them as electives. Note that no specific undergraduate major is required for pre-med, although there is a set of pre-med course requirements that typically includes biology, chemistry, physics, math and statistics, English composition, and social studies.

Remember that medical school is expensive, and most medical students take on a lot of debt to finance it. Since most pre-meds are lucky to get into one medical school, they may not have a lot of choice to choose a less expensive one. So be careful about keeping undergraduate costs low to avoid debt and save money for medical school.
